"This situation and the large number of projects requested by many municipalities 'make it impossible to accommodate all projects within the desired schedule." As I advised Reeve Sharen our engineering consultants will be completing the final detailed design of the sewage works proposed for Grand Bend either late this year or early in 1978," In conclusion, the Minister assured council every attempt would be made to construct the sewers as soon as funds become available. In a brief discussion on sewers, Reeve Bob Sharen said he is continually receiving complaints of septic tank problems and is telling these persons to contact the Lambton Health Unit. Sharen continued, "This is one way we can get the point across to government officials• that we have a real problem here and sewers are needed badly." The Reeve said several problems were alleviated over the Labour Day weekend by having septic tanks pumped out, Councillor Harold Green suggested some septic tanks be pumped every two weeks during peak periods.
