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.

landed on Thursday. The day start-

activities took place as planned.
Several residents enjoyed a fabu-
lous winter picnic early that eve-
ning. The old dining room was dec-
orated up to remind of
summertime, and residents sat
around a picnic table and had Ken-
tucky Fried Chicken, with straw-
berries, watermelon, and fresh
kiwi.
After the Winter Picnic, a Birth-
day Party was held for residents
who had birthdays in December
and January.
A special thanks goes out to Gail

for the special occasion on such a
slippery evening! Jessie Armstrong
celebrated her 101st birthday in
January. She was entitled to the
biggest piece of chocolated mousse
cake in the house.
Saturday was the special movie
matinee day. Many people enjoyed
watching an old Shirley Temple
movie while snacking on cheesies
and sipping soda pop.
