FROM BRUSSELS Council looks at waste options After reviewing a draft proposal from Morris Twp. for the extended use of the landfill site, Brussels coun­ cillors agreed, at the July 11 meeting, to look at other options for waste dis­ posal. With a suggested tipping fee of $70 per ton and $30 per ton perpetual care cost, councillors felt the cost was much higher than expected. Clerk-Treasurer Donna White said Wingham and Exeter had been dis­ cussing a fee of $60 per ton but noted the agreement was not signed. White suggested council could ask Morris Twp. for an extension of the current agreement where each municipality pays half the cost, but did not know how long this could be continued. Council agreed to send a letter of inquiry to Exeter about the landfill site as well as consider revisiting the Grey-McKillop site option. Rouw updates on sludge tank Henry Rouw of the Ontario Clean Water Agency was on-hand at the July 11 session of Brussels council to bring them up-to date-on the matter of the sludge storage tank as detailed to Blyth council earlier in the month. Hearing that a further inspection had been possible with the cessation of rain, Rouw told council that the Boor of the tank at the Lloyd Michie property, was cracked. A search since the Blyth meeting had not located another suitable stor­ age tank. “I believe consideration of a new tank is a good one,” said Rouw. “Adequate storage on-site is a good option.” Though there was concern about the time frame and possibly running into October construction, council approved a motion allowing Rouw to proceed with an application for an amendment to the certificate of approval for the sewage treatment plant. Rouw encouraged council to con­ sider a contingency plan in case the weather was not on their side. “As of Nov. I, the sludge has to go some­ where.” The cost of the amendment is $3,800.

Though White said selling was the best option, she did not believe the legislation forcing the action was best for the customers. “We provide excellent service at a great price.
