Here, we too have an antiquated
diatributior system. Here we
are forced te conserve water
annually. But stay! A few
years .ago the town fathers re-
sponded to the strietttrea of the
Oretaricl, Water Resources Com-
mission (0 Wit..) and invoked
their assistance. They and we,

ed the job of -designing, build-
ing and, maintaining a ,system
of .punips and Altera to 'ensure
us of an adequatupply of
clean water. ,
, What ia the result Of our
faith.in the omniscience of the
QaW.R.C.? The result is that
in the period of the year when
demand is at its lowest, the win-
ter, , we are served with some
of the dirties . water we have
ever experienced. Many ?claim
they got cleaner water, on av-
erage, before the filters were
installed. It may be of com-
parative interest to note that
in teeming Calcutta they have
two supply systems. One for
drinking and dne for gardens.
The latter is drawn straight
from the Hoogly river. It would
be bard to distinguish it from
Goderich water. In Tientsin,
in Hong Kong, in Quetta, Bannu,
Fort Sandemaii, Miranshah, Raz -
mak even, all with poor supply
sources the water was clear.

Without going into (Ions,
vveknow we pdasess a panwIng
system about twice the capacity
of the Altars. This knowledge
is supported by the existence of
the notorious bypass valve, in-
stalled so as to bypass the Alt-
ers if and when an abnormal
demand occurs and so permit
rawawater-to--beaptunpedai
the mains. But remember, this
is the low demand season; our
dirty water cannot surely!, he

No we. oust look further for
the negress in the woodpile.
, We know the distribution
system is ancient; that it 'may
have dead end a which are not
flushed out regularly and so
inhibit silt. But dirty water
is' found all over the system,
so we can hardly blame the
decrepit distribution mains.
There remains the elevated
supply tank, up by the C.N.R.
station, into which all water
must be pumped before it can
be distributed to users. Sup-
pose a temporary demand a-
xing which empties this elevat-
ed tank at such %a rate that the
pumps are:forced to refill it
at a rate in excess of that di-
gestible by the filters.' That is,
at a rate which precludes ade-
quate filtration time.. The re-
sult will be dirty water.
Now we can tie the more pro-
bable causes of dirty water
down to one or more of the
following possibilities:
1. The elevated supply tank is
too smallojn relation to a
probable maximum demand.
2. filters are too small in
relation to the existing sup:
ply tan& and the possible
maximum demand.
3. ne filters are net efficient.
4. The alltep are not op lerated

handl* that the 0.W.R.C.,-
when it orlginally surveyed the
problem of Goderich water sup-
ply, did. net obtain all relevant
data as to 'what was necessary
to enable a balanced filtration
and supply system to result
from their recommendations.
So far we have seen no publish-
ed explanation, still _less apol-
ogy, for the unsatisfactory re-
turn we'll'aVe received for our
money. And the money was
found, let us not forget; at the
goading of the 0.W.R,C. It
seems clear therefore that the
onus is now oa the 0.W.R.C.
to say what is faulty. To admit,
if necessaiy, some oversight
and finally for Council to con.

remedy proposed by the prime
instigators of this supply
scheme.
Regrettably an attitude of
timidity is far too prevalent
when it comes to approaching a
provincial body. In the present
case it is clear, that if the Com-
mission is to retain its position
as technical mentor for Ontario

to ignore shortcomings of our
