TOWN BUYS SPRINGS
Supply of Water for Domestic Pur
poses to be Piped to Reservoir
At the Exeter council meeting on
Monday evening a by-law was pass
ed confirming the purchase by the
Public Utilities Commission of five
acres of land from Mr. Garnet Fray-
ne, Thames Road, situate on the
north bank of the Aux Sable, toge
ther with a right-of-way across the
property, The property contains
several springs of water and the
proposal is to gather the water from
these springs ^nd have it pumped
down through the pipes to a reser
voir with a capacity of one quarter
million gallons, the reservoir to he
built on the town property near the
present pump-house -on the south
side of the river bank and from there
it w411 be pumped to the large stor
age tank at the rear of the Town
Hall to be used as a domestic water
supply for the town. After an ex
haustive search for water by the
sinking of some fifteen test holes
in various parts of the community
last year, in all of which water was
found but not in sufficient quantity
to meet the needs for a domestic
supply for the municipality it was
decided to purchase the springs and
have the water piped to a reservoir.
The plans have met with the approv
al of the Provincial Board of Health
and of the Municipal Board. The
agreement with Mr. FrKyne calls for
the payment of $1500 for the pro
perty and a further payment of a
like amount if the supply secured
meets the needs of the municipality
for a period of three years from the
date of operation. Work will com
mence in the near future and it is
expected that the system will be
complete before another winter sets
in.
