WINGHAM, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, AUQfuST 8, 196z
ouncil Gives Final OK to
ewers and Arena Front
Mayor Robert Hetherington had
arranged an almost unprecedented
agenda for the town council when
it met last Tuesday evening In a
marathon four-hour session. The
business at hand covered restate
tions, construction by-Iaws and fin,
ancing pr'oeed,,ares for a number of
projects that have been hanging
fire all year, including the major
sewage overhaul, new storm sewers
rddit.onal sewage on Summit Drive
sidewalks in two locations and th'
new front on the arena. Mayor
Ietherington had prepared nl0u11
tains of paper to cover all aspect.,
).f the work and was nearly hoarse
by the tirne 11e had read them all
to council,
Good News
The sewer project produced the
,beat news of the evening when the
mayor explained that the system
could be installed without undue
hardship to the taxpayers. A reso-
lution, approved by council, 'will be
forwarded to the Ontario Water
Resources Commission for its• OK,
covering the financing of the sew-
ar program. In essence the fin,
ancing of the plan boils down to the
following, Capital cost of the pro-
lect will be placed on the general
assessment on a 30 -year financing
basis and should he about three;
and a half mills. This increase
will be largely set off by the fact
that the mill rate this year included
a levy to cover a deficit incurred
last year, Result, only a small in_
crease in the mill rate.
The other costs of the project,
which include maintenance and
financing charges will be 'added to
the water rates through the Pub-
lic Utilities- water department.
Normally this would mean a jump
in water rates of about 90 per
cent, However, the community
will be let down easily again. Wa-
ter rates established years ago
were high enough to cover deben.
tures for the water system. These
have been paid off in the last few
years, and the water rates have
not been changed, with the result
that a sinking fund of some $46,00(
has been established, which is
enough to handle any foreseeable
contingency. Result, water rates
can actually be lowered by nearly
60 per cent, which means that the
addition of the sewer financing to
the lowered water rates will pro-
bably give a net increase of 35 to 50
cents per month to water users.
The resolution calls for financing
through the Ontario • Water Re-
sources Commission and deben-
tures will not have to be issued to
cover the program,
Addition to Sewage
Seven of the eleven property own-
ers on Summit Drive requested a
sewage line. This called for an
other resolution by council to have
this project included in the over..
all schemr., The latteral will be.
paid for by the property owner's,
but a small pumping station and a
force main would be included in the
master plan. The resolution creat-
ed considerabie discussion by coun-
cil since it called for corner pro-
perties to pay for the flanking sew.
er, This was thrown, out by coun-
cil, to set a precedent in problems
of this kind. Financing will once
again be handled by the OWRC,
Storni Sewer
An $18,000 storm sewer project
on Josephine and Victoria Streets,
which had received approval by
council late in June, was again dis-
cussed as an agreement from the
Water Resources Commission was
on hand. A resolution covering the
financing was approved. The pro,
feet, amortized over 30 years, will
require total payments of $1540.00
per year, which means an increase
.lf .6 mills per year. This will also
fie financed through OWRC and
charged on the general mill rate,
Arena front
Resolutions and •by-laws covering
the new front on the arena creat-
ed considerable discussion. Most.
agreed that the $41,000 estimated
cost was higher than they had hop-
ed to see,' but it appeared the
