Millions of gallons lost,
PUC wonder where water is
In an average one month
period, the Public Utilties
Commission in Grand Bend
has found that 1,000,000 more
gallons of water is being
used this year than over the
same period last year, and
the month of July was up by
4,000,000 gallons.
Stan Lovie told the com-
mission last week the
amount of water being used
will have to fall con-
siderably, or they "will be in
the red".
He said he can't see where
the water is being used, but
so far this year the Village
has used more water than all
of last year.
He said there could be a
leak in the system some
place that has not yet been
detected.
One way of finding this
out, is to open valves late at
night and listen for prolong-
ed running of water.
The water slide was using
more water than the PUC
expected, but that amount is
still a drop in the bucket, the
commission was told.
Lovie said none of the un-
metred, small, commercial
establishments could be us-
ing that much water.
They discussed having a
company go over the system
and check for leaks. This had
been done in 1976 when four
leaks were found at a cost of
$945.
The PUC decided if the
Teaks could not be detected,
they would have to consider
hiring someone to find them.
In other business, the PUC
accepted the bid of $350 for
hooking up their sewer. No
one was exactly sure where
the outlet is. The septic tank
will be filled with sand after
it has been pumped.
An order was made two
weeks ago with two different
suppliers for ballast to
repair three street lights
which aren't working. Lovie
said he has no extra lights or
ballast which could be used
temporarily. He could
replace any other part of the
light.
Prosper Van Bruaene told
the Commission remote con-
trol metres are "not as good
as they are cracked up to
be".
At a meeting in Clinton, he
said problems had been had
with between three and
twelve percent of the
metres.
The PUC discussed a
letter which had been sent
by Grand Bend council ask-
ing about the cost of having
the PUC do the work on
sewer bills. They agreed
council knew the answers to
the questions asked in the
,letter because Bob Sharen.
Reeve of the Village. sits on
the PUC.
The question was raised
about how many times a
representative ofcouncilhas
been at a PUC meeting this
year. There is supposed to be
one representative at every
meeting.
Sharen said in an inter-
view with the T -A he had
told Van Bruaene he would
be late, if he made it to the
meeting. He had three
meetings scheduled that
night, he said.
Sharen said he has missed
two PUC meetings in the
past six months, and has
.missed four meetings in the
past nine years.
The PUC was made aware
of the fact there is two
months to go in the two year
contract with its employees.
