Says tile drainage improperly installed • WROXETER — Conservation authorities should insist , that private and iiunicipal drainage tile are installed so they do not damage the. environment. At least that is the opinion of Nor- man Alexander of Londesboro, Hullet Township representative on the Maitland Valley Conserva- New flood warning for Maitland WROXETER — The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority is planning to improve its flood warning system with two new programs, _ one involving volun- teers and the other a sophisti- cated electronic device. • Resources Manager Ian Des- lauriers described the programs to Authority members at their general meeting held Dec. 3 in Wroxeter. In the volunteer program water level gauges will be placed on bridges throughout the water- shed. Authority members living near the bridges will be requested to check the levels dur- ing flood periods and telephone' their findings to the Authority headquarters at Wroxeter. The ,electronic" system will involva'the installation of auto= uratic water -level recording gauges at four locations in the watershed. The gauges will be hooked in with telephone lines, thus enabling staff members at Wroxeter to receive water levels at the four locations by dialing the number of the individual gauges. The information will be trans- mitted via the telephone in a coded electronic message which will then be deciphered. Mr. DeslaurieiSsaid electronic gauges will be installed at Listo- vdel and Wingham in 1976 and at a later date at Harriston and Brussels. Asked if this would enable the Authority staff, members to pin- point the time of the flood peak, Mr. Deslauriers said at first they would still be guessing, but after the "first time or so," they should be able to accurately predict the time and give municipalities the maximum warning possible. Total cost of the electronic gauges is expected to be $15,000 and has been budgeted for in the Authority's 1976 proposed budget. tion Authority. At the general meeting of the Maitland Authority held Dee. 8 in Wroxeter, Mr. AleXander said he had retired last year and since had taken on the position of ditch commissioner for his township. "The Authority," he said, "gets notice of all drainage works and has 30 days to approve the ap- plication. I have found out that a lot of municipal ditches are not being properly installed with the result that soil fills in and then washes down into our water- ways." Besides poorly connected drains, Mr. Alexander said drainage levels should be checked more carefully. He also said he had seen drainage ditches filled with debris -and more specifically, dead elm trees. Then, he said, we spend about a half a million dollars to clean up our lakes. Maitland Authority Chairman Jack Graul of Milverton . agreed with Mr. Alexander, but said conservation authorities had difficulties because dorm tile drainage was ' something "The • Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the Ministry of Natural Re- sources do not see eye to eye on." "And it's quite a problem," he continued.

It's hard to say which is the more important." Vice chairman Lorne Murray of Maryborough Township said he too agreed with Mr. Alexander that conservation authorities ought to pay more attention to drainage works. • "You can't be a nice guy, that's for sure." But accor a 'ng to Mr. Murray, it's only been ately that munici- palities were a notifying the conservation au ' 'ti = . + drain- age applications. He also noted that Maryborough Township also had to watch property owners regarding the dumping of dead elms in the ditches. He cited one example where the township didn't find out about one such tree 1 until after the snow came. Then, said Mr. Murray, the township made the owner get in a back hoe and get the tree removed. "It cost the property owner a lot of money," he said, "but this is the kind of thing you have to do. You have to show people you mean what you say." �.. irv.�i�.
