However, after breaking down the figures, council is reluctant to, ask for dona- tions from, these municipalities. Instead, in 1986, they may raise the registration fees, apply for more grant money and' call on more volunteer help. Hydro The Blyth Hydro . Commission budgets money to'update lines each year. Over the past three years, $47,000 has been spent on improving lines and buying transformers. Commissioner James Howson also ex- plained that tree trimming expenses have been high in the past three years as. well. "This is due to the aging of several of our ilk trees. This is an expense that is made and one which you never know just how much you have saved. One tree falling on a hydro line and damaging a transformer can cost over $7,000 to repair, let alone the great in- convenience caused," he noted. „With Cable TV in the village, Blyth Hydro will receive a fee of approximately $7.50 per pole, each year for allowing the cable lines to be strung on the hydro poles: The hydro commission also participated in `an off oil campaign which resulted in residents receiving an $800 grant if they con- verted from oil to electric heat. Water Commission The Blyth Water Commission has made many improvements to its distribution system over the years. Several of the cast mains have been replaced with ductile pipe, decreasing the chance' of the mains break- ing'. More shut-off valves have been installed so the area affected during a shut-off is smaller and one inch lines have been replac- 'eil with four and six inch mains, increasing water pressure. A diesel pump has been installed and can be used in the case of power failure. It also ihcreased the water pressure. Future plans, according to Commissioner Donald Noble, "call for an extension of the 10 inch main from Mill and Drummond Streets to Mill and Dinsley Streets. This ad- dition will allow for more pressure and will allow for more volume of water, should there be a serious fire." The commission has set aside $15,000 as a reserve for the new main, and with the assistance of an ONIP grant, hope to start the project in 1986. ' In his closing remarks, Reeve Tom Cronin went over the changes he has witnessed dur- ing his seven years on council, concluding With, "Finances of the village have never been better with reserve funds established for major expenses. Council continues to review problems in the village and we trust that we are looking after your cont u n .'
