Clerk resigns in Tuckersmith
Councillor Drummond said
council was never informed by
the homeowners at Vanastra of
any complaints, they had with the
installation of the meters, and
rest of council confirmed this.
Mr, Bell said, "The in-
stallations were spread over a
two month period and no one
complained to us during that
time. Now a month after the
meters are installed we get a
complaint, Council's hands are
tied. How do we police a thing like
this? The county health unit
refuses to do it."
The reeve said that following
Mr. Gates complaint to him prior
to the meeting be had asked Dr,
F. Mills of the Health Unit to
check into the problem,
Mr. Gates said, "Everytirne
my wife does a wash I have to go
downstairs and tighten up the
pipe as it vibrates like
everything,"
Mr. Gates said he had seen
half- inch hole drilled through
siding and not caulked.
Mr. McIntosh said he had been
informed that a few people at
Vanastra had pulled the wires off
their meters. "They will have to
pay for the property damage."
