The Rural Voice, 1978-09, Page 11As well. many of the exhibitors will be offering cool drinks to
those walking the seven long streets viewing the exhibits.
All that food and drink brings the Huron County Health Unit in
cooperation with the Health and Water committee of the plowing
match into the picture.
With the expected crowds of over 50,000 per day arriving there
‘, ill have to be plenty of washroom facilities and water on the
site.
The recent polio scare means people will be even more
cautious and concerned than usual about the cleanliness of both
food handling places and washrooms. .
Over a year ago local health officials were working with the
Health and Water committee making recommendations as to
what v.as required to protect people who attend the .match.
Ed Harrison. director of Public Health Inspections for Huron
County Health Unit. says the main concern of the unit is to
provide safe drinking water and sanitary washroom facilities.
# 1 Concern
The number one concern is the water. The location of the site
means the match can use Wingham water. Pipes arc being laid
from Wingham and health authorities will be on hand to flush out
the pipes with disinfectant before the first water is run through
them and then to take routine water checks to test for
cleanliness.
Water is usually either trucked in by tanker truck from the
nearest location or a well is drilled for the occasion. Both arc
either not perfectly sanitary or expensive.
The Health and Water Committee headed by Doug McNeil will
be on the site helping install the water system.
The chairman has allotted all of September to work involved
with the match. .
The five other committee members are Norman Durst, Clinton:
