Will Exeter be one of the municipalities to hook into the Lake Huron water pipeline tak- ing water to London? There was no particular die- cuselon held on the matter by council, but they are interested tO the point of requesting the PUC to send their manager and chairman to a meeting in Park- hill on October 23 when the Ontario Water ResourceeCbre- missiOn will ex -lain their poli- cies in regard o municipal ties ' hooking into the line.
