Wading pool's fate discussed
EXETER - The future of the
wading pool in Victoria Park was
discussed at the South Huron Rec
Board monthly meeting Wednesday
night after the General Ggvemment
committee proposed Town Council
be asked "to test public reaction to
not operating the wading pool this
year".
Facilities manager Cam Steward -
son explained that extra hot condi-
tions last summer made it impos-
sible to keep the water properly
chlorinated. Because of that, health
inspectors closed the wading pool
several times last season.
tewardson added however, that
chlorine levels aren't always that
difficult to maintain. .
Staffing the facility was another
problem. Questions of liability
should someone be injured at the
pool were raised by chairperson Ka-
thy Whiteford. The Board expressed
• the hope that a volunteer group
might be established to maintain
the pool.
Jim Chapman suggested the board
go ahead and open the pool, noting
that the coming season may not be
as hot as last year. If the pool has
to be closed down on hot days,
Chapman said, close it down.
Along those lines of thought, a
motion to continue with the same
wading pool procedure as last sea-
son was carried.

EXETER - A number of recom-

committee -were approved by Exet-

Town siuperintendent Glenn

sion from the township of Stephen
to install the storm drain on Water-

to the outlet, during the year 1988
and ask if they would consider do-

Also approved was the sugges-

Property owners will be assessed
the costs on a frontage basis for
the development and opening of
the street. _
The sanitary sewer will be in-
stalled at the same time as the
street is being- constructed. The
town would pay the cost of the san-
itary sewer at this time and would
charge the cost later to each respec-
tive property owner when the sewer
is able to be used.
Shouldthe property owners wish
the street to be opened in 1988,
they would have to pay the cost up
front, otherwise it would be done
later and the property owner could
pay when development takes place.
