Staff photo Rebekahs need canvassers for CNIB Will hold special meeting on Monday to discuss changes in water system formation and I’d like to ask some councillors if they think this is reasonable on a cost sharing basis,” he added. “What’s going to happen if they find out there’s not enough water if there is a fire,” councillor Bevan Bonthron asked. Mr. Alarie said that it could be that a few links of pipes connected to the present water system could be all that’s necessary. Councillor Harry Klungels said, “I was just wondering if maybe a larger pipe would be less expensive than a study. Mr. Alarie replied that they knew how much water they could get from the wells but they didn’t know how much pressure they could get from where the water started out to the subdivision. He said that the engineers Burns-Ross agreed that it would be necessary to do the study. Councillor Paul Neilands said the Ministry of the Environment should know what the capicity of Hen sail’s storage system was and Mr. Alarie said that the Ministry had all the records but they wanted to know what the distribution of the pressure is because the Canadian Underwriters say you have to know how much pressure you can have. Nick Hill said that the Huron County planner Roman Dzus was supposed to have his plans in by October and that by January they should be able to get into the actual planned subdivision work. just sorry the PUC aren’t in on it. Myself, personally I would like to talk with the PUC before I give my opinion on it,” Mr. Hill asked council that if they deemed it necessary to go the PUC whether they could hold a special council meeting to discuss it. Council decided to hold a special meeting on September 18. He also asked council if they would discuss with planner Roman Dzuz going to the school board about an additional street going past the school advising the school board of council’s position on it, as a sup plement on the planner’s presentation to them. The planners wanted a road either to the side of the school or through the school grounds because the grounds cut off access between the village and the proposed subdivision site. Mr. Hill said in a phone interview that he hoped the school board would be willing to trade some of their land for an access road so that the planners could keep all existing roads intact but he thought a road at the side would be better so the planners didn’t have to go right through the middle of the school grounds. Also at the meeting, council discussed a by-law they had drawn up previously to prohibit bur ning in defined areas in the municipality but Clerk Elizabeth Oke said council really have no authority to prevent fires in a defined area. They would have to Please turn to Page 15 Mr. Alarie said the water system study would probably take four to six weeks. Councillor Harry Klungel asked if the only thing they would come up with in the final analysis would be the size of pipe necessary to correct the water pressure. “Hopefully it (the study) will say the system is okay," “If you’re looking I think you should pay more than 25 percent of it,” Councillor Homer Campbell said. Reeve Harold Knight pointed out that “It’s pretty awkward. Its a municipal water system but basically it’s run by the PUC and they’re the ones who have all the figures on it.” Mr. Alarie also said there had been several sub divisions put in other areas where the town’s water systems hadn’t been up to 0MB standards and in such cases it was more economical to put in a separate system and he said he proposed study would also show whether it was necessary for an in dependent system to be installed in the Hensali subdivision. He added that one of the things they’re recommending is that the subdivision be serviced by two mains. “1 think we’re overlooking another big factor — that we’re annexing another 100 acres to the north. We’re going to need water there too,” Reeve Harold Knight said. “There may be an ad vantage to the thing.” I’m Nick Hill, architect from the firm of Hill and Borgal in Goderich and Ray Alarie Planning Engineer of Conestogo -Rovers Associ ates were at the regular meeting of Hensali council Monday night to ask coun cil’s permission to proceed with a study of Hensall’s water system. The study is to see if there would be enough water pressure for the village and the proposed Reid sub division. The planners wanted council to pay 75 percent of the cost of such a study which they estimated would probably cost around $4,000. Mr. Hill said they had "already done a study on the water supply and storage system for storm and sanitary sewers. He said the present water system could handle 2,000 people but they didn’t know what would happen to the water pressure if fire should break out at the other end of the village. The men also said that the Ontario Municipal Board (0MB) has to know how much pressure the water system can handle before the planners go ahead with their subdivision plans. “1 think one of the frustrations we’ve had is what capacity we can handle in the water systems of the village. I would have thought that having invested,in this system .that somewhere along the line you’d want to know what the system’s good for?” Mr. Hill said. “The 0MB and the Ministry of the Environment are going to want this in delicious ‘Pot Luck’ lunch was enjoyed by all. Amber Rebekah Lodge resumed their fall meetings Wednesday evening with the Noble Grand Mrs. Maggie Campbell presiding assisted by the Vice Grand Mrs. Pearl Eyre.
