'1'wo sets of four basins connected in series allow one set at a time to be emptied periodically for cleaning. To remove the ac- cumulated floc. the water is sent into 12 three -element filters. each containing 18 in- ches of anthracite. on top of 12 inches of sand and 16 in- ches of variable -density gravel. All the filters operate on a 60 -hour cycle, after which they must be Children: Christmas Party Sun., Dec. 6, 1981 2 p.m. Crediton Community Centre sponsored by Crediton & District Social Club Everyone Welcome back -washed to cleanse themselves of the floc. After this filtration the water is sent through the clear well and down to the high lift sta- tion where it is pumped out on its way to the Arva reser- voir Chlorine is also added to kill any lingering bacteria. Samples of water are taken daily for chlorine content and turbidity. These same samples are checked in Lon- don twice a week. Conditions in the weather can indirectly affect the work of the plant, acIprding to operator Harry HaWalton. If. for example, the lake is violent due to high winds, the waves' action can dis- turb the bottom and send quantities of dirt and sedi- ment into suspension, re- quiring more frequent backwashing of the filters. This problem is precluded by ice coverage in the winter. The high lift station has four main electric pumps rated 2.500 horsepower each to supply the reservoir at Ar- va. Two service pumps do the work for the plant's water needs itself plus Grand Bend and Pinery Park. In case of power failure. a diesel generator will light the plant and send water to Grand Bend. The capital cost of the en- tire system will be paid in about 30 years. The plant employs a service. and maintenance crew of 20 peo- ple.

Reeve Harold Robinson of Howick Township and Reeve Grant Stirling of Goderich Township are standing for election. Reeve Robinson. who is making his second attempt for the Warden's chair (he was defeated in a 16-15 vote by present Warden Fred Haberer of Zurich), has served the county since June of 1965. He started -in municipal politics as a coun- cillor in January of 1965, and became a deputy reeve in June because the reeve i houses five vehicles for the routine service inspections some of the men make. There are preliminary plans to increase the filtra- tion capacity by construc- ting an addition to the plant sometime in the next five years, according to superintendant Bill Sturde- vant. Demand for water in- creases by about six percent annually. aIIIIInun11111111IIII111-IHnlllllnllllnl STEPHEN TOWNSHIP ARENA ACTIVITIES December 2 CC AT vs Ace's 8-10 December 4 Zurich vs Marauders- 8-10 arauders8-10 December 5 Minor Hockey 11-7 p.m. December 6 Free Public Skating 2-4 Rec League Hockey 4:30-10:30 December 7 Hensall 11111111111111111111 ivs s CCAT Ei 8-10 =tnnnnnnnuullunnunnunuunur:• vacated his seat. Howick no longer has a deputy reeve sitting on county council. He was out of office from 1973 to 1976. at which time he served on the land division committee. During his time., on county council he has served on 'property, social services, warden's per- sonnel'. Huronview, development. executive and roads committees. He has been chairman of property, Huronview and social ser- vices committees. Reeve Robinson said the biggest challenge in 1982 will be to fight inflation. Wages, are a particular concern of Reeve Robinson's. Reeve Stirling first sat on county council as Goderich Township's deputy reeve in 1961. In 1964 to 1968 he was reeve. and then he left coun- ty council for six years. He was first elected to township council in the fall of 1954. As a county councillor he has -served on the agricultural, roads, Huron - view, executive, social ser- vices and health com- mittees. He has been chair- man of the roads and social services committees. Reeve Stirling agrees with Reeve Robinson's concern for inflation. stating, "we must practice as much restraint as we can." While he is aware county council is limited as to what it can do to fight inflation, Reeve Stirling. said it should do what it could. The election and inaugura- tion of Huron's 1982 warden will take place at Huron County Courthouse on December 8 at 2 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Heywood have returned home after spending ten days in Dartmouth Nova Scotia attending the wedding of their granddaughter Darlene Brintnell.
