"Sitting at 167 surveys is a good response rate. And, it is a close vote," he said. At the meeting, McGrath expressed concern that if Egmondville residents decide not to go ahead with the sewer hook-up, the environmental assessment will not hold up if the issue is revisited later. "What's the shelf life of that report? Should the public turn it down, that would be $150,000 wasted. I would like to find a comment from the Ministry (of the Environment) that it will carry clout in 10 years," he said. Mayor Joe Seili told McGrath that the environmental assess - meet will probably only be good for five years. "You know they won't do that," he said of the request for a Ministry guarantee. Deputy -Mayor Bernie MacLellan added that if the community turns down the sewers for Egmondville, he can't see the issue coming up again in five years. McLachlan pointed out that there will be another public meeting before more money is water and sewer committee, decided council at its May 1 meeting. Clerk -Administrator Jack McLachlan told council the municipality received 85 sur- veys back from the 265 house- holds in the village by the May 1 deadline but has since received 167 responses. But, Tuckersmith Coun. Larry McGrath is worried he's hearing that Egmondville residents are not responding with a yes or no vote because they're required to sign their names to the survey. "I don't think they realize that by not voting at all they're prob- ably going to end up with some- thing they don't want. If you're against the sewers, not voting could end up being a yes vote," he said in a phone interview after the meeting. McGrath said with the huge costs associat- ed with installing sewers in Egmondville, res- idents should make sure they express their opinions. "A Iot of people are going to be really stressed financially by this," he said, adding that he's going to ask the water and sewer committee to require 66 per cent of spent. 61121111 `I don't think they realize that by not voting at all, they're probably going to end up with something they don't want,'-- Tuckersmith Coun.
