nosh- rateiSayers in regard to the proposed

discussed the idea of a public hearing at
their July 10: meeting. ' •
• Their preference for separate meetings
wasvoiced before receiving. notice this week
that the Ministry Of the Environment intends
to hold one public hearing before- the
decision to approve the project is made.
Lucknow councillor Ab Murray said at the -
July meeting of Lucknow council hewants to
meet with the township ratepayers to discuss
the locationofthe treatment facility in West
'-Wawanosh and address their concerns. He
wants a separate 'meeting however, .for the
Lucknowl vplage ratepayers where the cost
and operation of the sewage Works project
etmgs
•orksproposal. • •
'will be discussed. Both meetings would be
• open' public forums but they would address
separate issues.
Murray said if only one meeting is held,
where anybody who is interested can attend,
it will only lead to more confusion :\ 'The
meeting with the West Wawanosh residents
• does net have to deal with the, cost of the
sewage worksProject or its operation and
•
maintenance 1• . -
We .are not responsible to, the people of
West Wawanosh only as in regard to the
loCation.. of the treatment facility in the
township, said Murray. . •

councillor Murray 'saying there should be
two meetings to avoid confusion.
