THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION OF EXETER CLASS ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WATER WORKS EXPANSION PROJECT OCWA PROJECT NO. 07-3175-02 The Exeter P.U.C. is planning a project to provide additional water supply for the town. A 1991 study identified deficiencies with the existing water supply and storage capacities. The current study is examining alternative methods of addressing the deficiencies, including: • construction of a new water storage tank or reservoir • developing a new groundwater well • connecting to the Lake Huron Water Supply System via a pipeline from Stephen Township, including consideration of who should own the works (Exeter, or Stephen Township, or Ontario Clean Water Agency). • purchase of water from the Township of Stephen or the Ontario Clean Water Agency. The project is being planned as a Schedule B undertaking following the requirements of the Class Environmental Assessment for Municipal Sewage and Water Projects. A copy of the Class E.A. document is available for review at the Exeter P.U.C. office. Public input and comment are invited for incorporation into the planning and design of this project, and will be received until February 25, 1994. Subject to comments received and the receipt of necessary approvals, the P.U.C. intends to proceed with the planning and design of this project. Depending on the availability of grant funding, construction of this project could begin in 1994. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: B.M.
