PUC commissioners
give annual report
Exeter's expanded water
supply system capably filled
.the ,community's needs in
the past summer's drought.
PUC chairman Murray
Greene reported to the -
ratepayers at Wednesday
night's meeting at the rec
-centre. •
• He said the.drought was
probably the worst in the
town's history, but the new
wells in Usborne and the
exisiting supplies met the
needs.
Noting that local, citizens
-pay about 25• cents per day
for water, Greene said there
probably wasn't any greater
value available.
He said_.. the new wells
would meet the supply of the
town until the year 2000 if
the growth rate remains at
its present levels.
He remarked about the ex-
cellent cooperation between
the council and the PUC,
suggesting it means a lot to
the community to have two
groups working so closely
together. .. _
Greene. who had to leave
the meeting early to attend
-a convention in Windsor.
told the small gathering that
the PUC .is facing "con-
siderable expense" in
changing over to the metric
system "although it is of no
value -to the customers". -
Vice-chairman Chan
Livingstone, reporting on
the hydro department. said
the town's $3 million con:
struction boom over the past
two years has placed a
burden on the PUC.
Money has to be laid out
now to provide services. but
the revenue often .takes as
long as 10 years to regain the
investment.
- 'Man erample.-he said the
construction of a local
apartment building was
costing the PUC about 811.-
060 this year.
He said the local PUC had
little control over rates.- this
being set by Ontario Hydro.
and he added that costs of
materials are escalating at
a high rate. He reported that
a 40 -foot wooden pole cost
363 about 10 years ago, while
today the cost is $230.
He compared Exeter's
hydro rate with several
other area communities, in-
dicating that the 2.67 cents
per kilowatt hour was higher
than Goderich's 2.54 but
lower than all others, which
ranged from 3.1 in Grand
Bend to the 2.79 and 2.78 paid
in Stratford and London
respectively.•
"I believe our system is as
good as -any in the district,"
Livingstone commented,
paying tribute to the staff
-and-management. -.--.. --_ . _
In concluding, he whim-
sically stated that the PUC
office was being renovated
"so everyone will be happy
when they come in to pay
their bills".
Both Greene and
Livingstone were returned
to their posts by acclama-
tion.
