Zurich council is pursuing the
possibility of installing a continuous -
feed alum injection system at the
lagoon sewage treatment facility. Ap-
proximately 85 percent of the total
f40-50,000 cost of the system will be
borne by a grant from the ministry of
the environment.
M Scott from the Lake Huron
Water Supply, representing the
ministry of the environment, ap-
peared before council to explain the
details of the alum injection system.
Ile cited better control of algae in the
lake and streams as the main advan-
tage, and also the possibility of sav-
ing the expense of $1,000 a year in
labour that it presently costs to
manually batch -dose the lagoons with
alum.
Scott also said that a slight saving
over the present expense of $6,000 a
year for chemicals might be realized,
but noted that more importantly, the
lagoons, under a continuous -feed
system, could be discharged more
frequently, such as during peak rain-
fall periods.
Reeve Bob Fisher thought it might
be an advantage if construction of the
system could be delayed until 1989 in
order to get the problem and expense
of the Zurich drain project out of the
way. Scott replied that he did not
know if the grant funding could be
postponed for that long but said that
he would find out.
Scott agreed with Councillor Paul
Morrison who said that use of
continuous -feed alum systems will
likely be required by the ministry
within a few years anyway and it
would be wise to install such a system
while grants were available.
Fisher was concerned that the
system might be unsightly, but was
assured by Scott that the 6,009 -gallon
tank, 10 feel in diameter and 12 feet
high, would be the only part visible to
the public. The tank will also have to
be surrounded with concrete to negate
any possibility of leakage.
In other business, Bob Fisher could
not be sure that Huron County's in-
itiative to transfer the authority for
making planning decisions from the
ministry of municipal affairs in
Toronto to the county was in the best
interests of the taxpayer.
"Why create another depart-
ment?" questioned Fisher, who
feared that the planning department's
creation of another county office
would be as large and expensive as
the province's.
"It's better than having to go to
Toronto for it," replied Councillor
Herb Turkheim. citing excessive red
tape and numerous ministry offices
as causes of delay to projects and
contractors.
"Time means money for contrac-
tors," noted Councillor Ray
McKinnon.
The planning department will hold
a meeting in Goderich on October 16
to welcome comment from the coun-
ty's municipalities on the topic of
transferring planning authority.
The Xurich properly standards
bylaw was given its third and final
reading and was subsequently ap-
proved. It allows for a fine of up to
$500a day to be imposed on property
owners whose properties do not meet
approved standards. A second bylaw.
was passed to allow for the appoint-
ment of a property standards officer
to enforce the bylaw.
The Zurich recreation bingo
reported a net profit of $3,828.94 of
which 40 percent will go to the village
of Zurich. The remaining 60 percent
o tie n
will be divided up among the four
clubs sponsoring the bingo to yield
$574.34 each. These clubs included the
Lions, the Figure Skating club, the
Minor Athletic Association, and the
Zurich Chamber of Commerce.
Council joined the World Food Day
Association in proclaiming October 16
World Food Day. Zurich will organize
events to increase community
awareness of world hunger.
The Bean Festival Committee sent
a letter of thanks to council for their
assistance and use of village facilities
during this year's very successful
festival.
OhmtrJei
Now that we have been getting a
few nice showers, our flowers and
plants around the home are just
beginning to be at their best, so I am
hoping that the frosts will be delayed
for a few more weeks.
Election day was very busy here at
the home where a polling booth was
set up for people of the home, apart-
ments and surrounding rural area. A
great deal of interest was generated
by the residents and some of them
were lined up before the poll had even
opened.
