HELPING RWANDA - Kathryn Woldnik and her son Andrew sign

afternoon in Egmondville. Betty thanks everyone for attending her
gathering which raised almost $500. Donations can still be made

Brantford site least expensive
continued from page one
water source). If we wanted to
expand we could automate the
reservoir. (The reservoir has a
capacity of 120,000 gal.)
Once we're committed to building
a column there's not much more we
can do to make it bigger. The odds
are in favour of an elevated tank.
Q. Why not go with Brantford SL,
if the PUC already owns the land
and the height is almost the same?
Are there disadvantages to the
Brantford St. site?
A. Only that residential develop-
ment may take place there.
Burns explained that water pres-
sure (for purposes of fire -fighting)
would be greater in closer proxim-
ity to the tower. And that it made
sense to locate the tower close to
the highest -value dwellings in
Seaforth - the arena and the hospi-
tal. But a new water tower would
be an improvement in water service
all over town.
"We can build the water tower
anywhere in town and it will
improve the situation," said Burns.
Q. Will the value of houses go
down (where the tower is located,
eg. Brantford St. site)?
A. The value of a house depends on
a lot of things. The best way to get
an answer would be to ask a real
estate agent.
Q. Plumbing in most of the houses
in town was installed years ago.
What if pipes start springing leaks
(because of the higher pressure)?
Who pays for repairs?
A. You pay, said Steve Burns of
B.M. Ross and Associates Ltd.,
consulting engineers for the Town
of Scaforth's water tower project.
Even at 50 psi, that's not enough to
burst your pipes.
"Systems that were installed well
won't leak," said Jim Sills, PUC
Commissioncr and manager of Sills
Hardware. Sills suggested the
town's watermains "might come
back to haunt" in the form of leaks
with the increased pressure of a
new water tower.
.Q. It would seem the hospital
would benefit with a second exit
(from the construction of a water
tower).
A. I don't see the hospital perceives
it as much of a benefit as we do.
The hospital is unspecific to options
for the other route. One option
would be to extend Side St. to
Alexander St.
Comment: It would seem the arena
site affects the least amount of
residences. (In the undeveloped land
north of the arena) it would be a
person's prerogative if they wanted
to build near a water tower.
Q. People already have the Com-
munity Centre in their back yard,
Burns explained that the initial
cost of the Brantford St. site would
be the least expensive of the three
(by about S200,000) As far as long-
term costs goes. there isn't really
any difference for all three sites, he
said.
Q. Why are there two sites close to
existing buildings (arena and Medi-
cal Centre) preventing expansion in
the future?
A. We're trying to stay far away
from residential areas. We can't go
further to the north. You still could
have a 50 -foot extension of the
arena to the north. At the clinic site,
they (hospital board) told us they
wanted it there. It wasn't our first
choice.
Q. What are the differences in
elevation at the three sites?
A. Hospital - 313 metres, Brantford
St. - 310 metres, arena - 311
metres. (Higher elevation in an
elevated storage tank creates greater
water pressure).
Q. What if in the future neighbour-
ing municipalities (Tuckersmith or
McKillop townships) wanted access
to our water supply, would the new
tank be large enough, could the
capacity be increased?
A. The ground level water reservoir
(in Seaforth) has not been taken
into consideration (as an additional
what's a water tower going to do,
asked arena manager Graham
Nesbitt.
A. It would be a lot quieter than the
community centre, answered one
member of the audience.
Comment: Everyone is going to
have their vested interest in each
location.
Q. Isn't it a concern it (the water
tower) will attract industry?
A. We're not building it to attract
industry but if it improves the sys-
tem, it's likely to happen.
Final comment by Steve Burns:
"Once they're (water towers) built,
my experience is that people don't
notice them."
Book league finishes 549 books

ebrated another successful year
