was felt that gravelling the road
would be helpful. Even village
employees use the roadway a lot,
he said.
"How much was spent," won-
dered Councillor Greg Wilson. '
It was only a few loads of gravel,
said Donna White, clerk-treasurer.
"So what happens if we do con-
struction other places? Are there
going to be roads popping up all
over the place?" wondered Coun-
cillor Mary Stretton.
"I wonder if there are any legal
ramifications?" asked Councillor
Wilson. "What happens if someone
goes on that road and gets hurt?"
Clerk-Treasurer White said to do
things properly the road should be
surveyed, and officially opened as
an extension of Princess St. The
same problem arises on the road
leading to the CIL Agromart, she
said which is not officially a road
but gets heavy traffic.
Councillors agreed to discuss the
situation with Ministry of Trans-
portation officials and see if the
streets should be posted with "Use
at your own risk" signs.
Several Brussels councillors had
questions, Monday night, about a
new road that "just appeared" after
the installation of sewers was com-
pleted on George St. behind the fire
hall.
The "road" had been used as a
detour during the construction but,
unknown to some councillors, had
been upgraded for more long-term
use with the addition of gravel.
Councillor Joe Seili explained that
many people have been cutting
across the area to take a short cut
from Cypress to George St. so it
Friday night's downpour that
dropped several inches of water on
the area in a short time caused seri-
ous problems for a Brussels house-
holder.
Bill Moses of Flora St. had his
yard flooded and seven inches of
water flowed into the house. He
told village council Monday night
that it cost $2,000 to have the flood
damage cleaned up. It's the fourth
or fifth time these floods have hap-
pened in the past few years, he said
(twice .in 1990) and he expressed
frustration at the situation.
Councillor Greg Wilson said the
only real solution to the problem is
to install a new, larger storm sewer
along Elizabeth St. Council had an
estimate of the cost of such a drain
several years ago and it was over
$100,000 then.
Reeve Gordon Workman said the
problem is that water comes down
the hill on Elizabeth St. from nearly
as far south as Huronlea and it's
difficult for the drains to take it
away. "I don't think any size of tile
would have taken that rain," he said
of Friday's deluge.
"It's our street water that's going

into his house," Councillor Wilson
said. "I think the sewer works, it
just can't handle the water."
The problem apparently arises
because the water slows up at the
corner of Elizabeth and Flora
Streets and backs up onto the
Moses property. Reeve Workman
suggested the solution for the pre-
sent might be to pour more con-
crete on top of the existing
sidewalk to raise it higher, provid-
ing more of a barrier to the water
and keeping it on the street.
Councillor Wilson agreed to look
at the situation and see if that might
work. He worried that it might
make the sidewalk dangerously
high. He agreed that there was no
money available to complete a new
drain at this point but "if and when
another grant comes along it's
something we should look into seri-
ously." Any temporary solution is
going to cost money without really
solving the problem, he said.
