Huron East
will study
costs of
sewers in
Egmondville
Huron East will pay
up to $7,000 to B.M.
Ross and Associates to
conduct a preliminary
engineering study to
determine the costs of
installing sewers in
Egmondville.
The subject was
debated at a recent
water and sewer
committee meeting
and decided by a
recorded vote.
Tuckersmith Coun.
Larry McGrath was
the sole "no" vote with
Mayor Joe Seili,
Seaforth Coun. Joe
Steffler, Seaforth
Coun. Lou Maloney
and Brussels Coun.
David Blaney voting in
favour of the
engineering study.
"I don't feel the
people of Huron East
should have to pay for
an engineering study
in Egmondville," said
McGrath, adding he's
not sure there's much
support in
Egmondville to join the
Seaforth sewage
system.

With the purchase of a $125,000 parcel of land
from Evelyn Querengesser, Seaforth may have
solved its water problems.
Tenders have gone out for the drilling of a
production well on the site, which must still be
tested for quality and quantity, says Huron East
Administrator Jack McLachlan.
If tests are favorable on the Querengesser
site, a second back-up well could also be drilled
at the same site, closing down the need for the
Welsh St. well which currently provides
Seaforth's drinking water.
Huron East council has been looking for
another water source in Seaforth since the
Chalk Street well was closed in October of 2002
when unacceptably high levels of radioactive
elements including radon, radium and uranium
were found in the water.
A month later, the Ministry of the
Environment told Huron East that Seaforth's
only operating well - the Welsh Street well -
needs corrective action because it is "under the
direct influence of surface water" or a GUDI
well.
While plans had been drawn up outlining the
possible treatment of water from the Welsh
Street well, McLachlan says a second well at
the Querengesser site that would not need
treatment would be preferable.
The next choice would be an exploration of a
well on land owned by Christa Eckert if there's
not enough water on the Querengesser site for
two wells.
"Allwhatfind at
our decisions hinge on We
the first well," says McLachlan.
The Ministry of the Environment has recently
approved a certificate of approval (C of A)
stipulating that Seaforth's water system needs
to be up to ministry standards by September of
2007.
McLachlan is expecting to hold a public
meeting before the end of October outlining
what the new water system in Seaforth will
involve. .
