Howard Bode, son of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Bode, is studying for (Continued from Page 1) Environment Ministry spokesman M ark Bell discounted citizens' statements that poorly laid pipes and inadequate compaction allowed underground leakage into the system. "Because of the rate at which the water rose, we're sure that this must be a surface water • problem" he said. He estimated that "millions of gallons" of water had entered the sanitary sewers. Mr. •Sawyer said there were leaks in the system during construction, but said when the final inspection was made. these leaks had all been repaired. The_ initial approach • to repairing the system is to carry out a visual inspection of the sewers during a period of heavy rain, Mr. Sawyer ,said. He ,said this would 'be done by McLaren engineers"as soon as possible". When asked if he could give ratepayers a guarantee that sewage would not back , up into basements again, Mr. Sawyer said "If I can find out where the is getting ,in, yes." • Mark Bell ' suggested people worried about . backups co* install a check valve • on their connection to the sewer. He said the homeowner would have to bear the installation costs. The ratepayers were adamant - • that it should be the responsibility of the Envirnoment Ministry; who own the "sewers until the town takes them; over later this year,to instal the, check valves on' the effected li nes. They also felt the installation should be done at the property line, and not, as Mr. Bell .had suggested, in'the ratepayers' basenients. It was not established at the meeting whether cheek valves would be installed. Councillor Bill Bennett expressed council's concern that the large volume of 'water that flowed through the sewer would result in excessively high gallonage charges from the Ministry. "We won't charge you for every gallon received at the pumping station" Mr. Bell said. He said the town should send a letter to the Ministry asking for a . review of the bill, and that an adjustment would be made. Concern was expressed at the meeting that if people refused to hook up to the sewers because of uncertainty about backups, Council would be unable' to meet the September 23, 1977 deadli ne for taking over the sewer system. Clerk Jim CroCker said only, 13.8 households had purchased hookup permits so far, and that 425 permits remained to be, sold. •Mr. Bell said it was', up to the town to request an extension on payments to the Ministry. He said Council should send the Ministry a registered letter requesting a review of the deadline. The problem of compensation of damages was discussed 'at 'the end of the . meeting. Mayor.' . Cardno.. ,,:.people who sustained damages should, list them, and submit the list to the town. Compensation will come from the Ministry or from the contractor, as soon as responsi- bility can be determined. 'Mayor Cardno' said Council would 'take up the ' 'ratepayers' cause, and would keep people inforined on all aspect's of the sewer problem. What's new ix 'St. Coltimban?
