After "considering four alterna-
tive proposals, members. of Gode-
riEh Public Utilities Commission
are convinced. that an entirely new- -
plant, costing $582,750, would be
the best -solution to the town's

The proposed plant would be
located on the shore, below the
cliffs and not far from the ;sunset

-The views of the commissioners
were aired last week at a joint
meeting of T9wn Council, the PUC
and the consulting engineers.
Outcome of the meeting was that
Council asked the ,PUC to submit
written recommendations, ,along
with suggestions on how to finance
the project. -
Few new points were raised at

and the possibility of saving money
by drilling. wells. •
A p&ice tag' of $555,000 was orig.
-Wally placed on the plan which is
fayored by both the.engineers and
the PUC. however, due to a five
percent cost increase 'since the
first study was made in 1955, the
projeot might cost $'582,750 today,
said. James F. MaeLarep, head . of
the firm of, consulting- engineers -
This would be about •;$185,00Q
higher than the price tag 'on the
Lowest priced alternative plan.
Under the lowest'priced plan, some
of the existing antiquated equip-
ment would continue in use.
Cost To ,Consumer
What would a new water plant
mean to the average consumer ha
terms of cost? At an earlier meet-
ing herb; it -was estimated that
rates would likely double. Auth-
ority for this estimate was B. Lar-
mour, secretary of Ontario Water
Itesources Commission.
"A lot of people just don't under-
stand why we want this," said R.
G. Johnston, PUC chairman; as

If a break . occurred under the

that the heavy grain truck 'traffic

- Reeve E. C. Fisher asked if the

special joint meeting with the in-
tention of recommending any par-

Not Forcing Issue
Commissioner MacEwan also
commented, "I= believe there have
been certain remarks that the Pub -
lie Utilities is forcing the issue."
Ile denied this, stating that • the
commission members are "just em-
ployees of the town." The com-
missioners, Ile said, are simply
operating the PUC for Town Coun-
cil.
"Is our present system impls-
sible?" asked Councillor C. M.
Robertson, who wondered if the

new pumping station could be the
first step in a gradual program of
modernization.

it's advisable,"•said J. F. MacLaren,

eliminated that first proposal (to
rovanip the °existing equipment)."
The cost of finding the obstruc-
tion in the present intake pipe
would be "almost prohibitive,"
said Mr. MacLaren: To provide
roam for a filter plant in connec-
tion with the existing system, the
town would have to close a street
and utilize certain harbor pr'6perty:
Actual Capacity Low
The present intake system, which
should have a daily capacitj) of
seven million gallons, has 'an ac-
tual capacity of two and a ,half
Million gallons.
Ile pointed out that the plan he
recommends wtnild include a $200,-:
000 filter plant. While Goderich
does not- have a filter • plant at
present, the Ontario Department of
health usually insists on one as
":in integral part'• of any new
water. system. .
There is nothing to beat Lake
Huron water, said Mr. MacLaren,
but it is muddy due to wave action,
and "that can only be removed
permanently by filtration."
In reply to further questioning
about the proposed plan, Mr. Mac -
Laren conceded, "It's possible it
could be undertaken in progressive
steps."
One adranL1ge GI an entirely
new plant in a new location, it was
pointed out, would be that it would
not interfere with anticipated fu-
' tore expansion of manufacturing
and shipping facilities at the
harbor.
I Because of their age, the pre-
sent pumps and equipment of the
water plant are likely due for
replacement, said the engineer.
"'Those gas engines are in very
bad shape," agreed Elmer Weaver.
PUC manager. 0.11e produced an
order for pump parts. The order
was dated January 22, but -we
haven't received them yet." -

had made a motion recommending
the entirelynow plant. Ile was -
informed by Commissioner Mac -
Ewan that this had not been done.
In reply to a question from
Councillor W. A. Tipple, Mr. Mac -
Laren estimated that, from the
word "go," it wpuld take 18 months
to complete the plan he reeom-
mends.
Mr. ,Maclaren said that proce-
dure in some other municipalities
had been for the PUC to make a
recommendation, then the Town
Council goes to the Ontario Muni-
cipal Board or Ontario Water Re-
sources Commission to discuss fin-
ancing and other steps.
Doubts Vote Necessary
Commissioner MacEwan .said
that Mayor J. H. Graham had ex-
pressed the -opinion that the water
plant proposal would have to be
voted on by the taxpayers. . M.
Maclaren said fie doubted this
would be necessary. His interpre-
tation was that if the commission
is convinced that the project is
essential, that -is all that it.neces-
sary.
Deputy -Reeve James Donnelly
said that the people want a new
system for two r, -a ,ons—the qual-
ity of water sometimes leaves much
to be desired under the present
system, and water is not always
available in sufficient quantity.
Aside from the question of a
new plant, the deputy -reeve asked
the engineer if the town's present
water distribution system would
ensure plenty of water for every-
one..
of capacity, replied
IMr. MacLaren, there would still be
a few, at the end of streets, who
would still have trouble due to
small pipes.
"You'll have an ample primary
supply," he said, "but it w curt
help the little fellow on ,the end
of the two-inch pipe."
however, he agreed that the
town could probably eliminate all
such complaint, by '.peliding about
$10.001) additional to install larger
