Exeter to study river water supply
EXETER - Exeter wants to see
how feasible it is to reinstate -the in-
dustrial water supply.
Die Exeter council committee of
the whole dove into the water sup-
ply study Monday night in an at-
• tempt to develop a water use pol-
icy.'
ot-icy.•
A week had passed" since Steve
Burns of B.M.-Ross and Associates
presented the draft report to the
council and•PUC.
The goals of the council review
are to understand short and long
terns water supply issues, reach
conclusions for future planning of
the water system and to agree on a
preliminary plan of action.
In a report, administrator Rick
Hundey recommended an eight -
step approach for council .to work
through the issue. His report also
included recommendations.
Hundey believes there is suf-
ficient basis to study the feasibility
•
and costs of reinstating the river wa-
ter for industrial purposes.
"Um not saying we should re-
instate, but there are grounds • to
study it," Hundey said.
The committee of the whole has
recommended to -council that the
Ministry of the Environment be
contacted to determine the criteria
and/or permission required to re-
instate and upgrade the river water
system. .
The process of taking water from
the MacNaughton pond requires
water to be .occasionally back -
flushed through the filters and the
MOE has regulations concerning
the quality of the water that would
be returned to the river.
Because the river water supply
had . been discontinued for a few
years, the reinstated system -could
be, subject to newer environmental
regulations which could up the pro-
ject's price tag.

The B.M. Ross report pegs the
cost of reinstating the river water
supply at up to $665.000.
This is the least costly "expan-
sion option" and retains Eiieter's
flexibility and balance in its water
system. 1t also frees up enough wa-
ter for an additional population of
1,470 people or a major industrial
customer.
The committee is also concerned
about the impact removing water
from the river will have on the op-
eration of the planned sewage treat-
ment expansion and will ask the
engineer to clarify the effect.
Frost hits local corn crops
by.Chris Brown -
OMAFRA Soil and Crop
Advisor, Woodstock
As the beginning of June turns
unseasonably cold it seems Mother
Nature has switched the months of
May art+ June. So when the .weath-
er forecasts predicted frost in the
. first week of June, farmers feared
the worst for -young crops.
With record heat unit accumula-
tions during the month of May and
-early -crops that are almost knee
high by the first of Junc, frost dam-
age has the potential to be more se-
vere than most years.

Frost damage is usually most se-
vere in low lying areas since the
cold air is heavier and accumulates
there. Organic soils are also prone
to frost because the heat holding ca-
pacity is lower than in mineral
soils.
In fields where frost has killed
the entire plant, the only option is
to replant, and this year that option
is a possibility that is, providing
soil moisturc'is adequate.
A frost that damages leaves of
the corn often doesn't kill the plant.
The.growing point of the corn plant
remains underground or protected
by the stalk -until the s leaf stage.
When only the leaves are ' Icd, the
plant usually recovers in one to two
weeks alter the frost.
Frost injury has surprisingly little
effect on coni yield . due to the
small impact of the first blur to live
leaves. Where root systems are
healthy, new leaf growth should he
evident within a few day's.
In taller corn frosted to the extent
that the whorl has collapsed. and
may potentially smother the grow-
ing point, producers have used flail
mowers to remove frost damaged
leaves.
This is not a recommended prac-
tice on plants less than four leaves
and not suggested on plants where
the whorl remains intact.. since the
mower cuts into tissue and leaves it
more prone to smut and other dis-
eases. Aller a frost, fields should be
scouted for the collapsed whorls
and new growth.
Temperature fluctuations are also
showing "up -on corn this year.
When a clearcold night is followed
by a clear day, corn plants at about
the tight -leaf stage .will display
symptoms of sunburn: This shows
up as gray leaf areas on the part of
the leaf orientated towards the sun.
