NOTICE VILLAGE OF ZURICH At the request of the Council of the Village of Zurich, the Ontario Water Resources Commission has investigated the possibility of installing within the village, a sewage works project to be owned by the Province of Ontario, consisting of a collector system and treatment facilities which will provide a major part of the village with sewage service. It is now proposed to construct such works at an estimated cost of $372,760. For services provided from these works, it is proposed to impose an estimated service rate of $0.54 per 1,000 gallons of sewage accepted from the municipality. The project will consist of the following works: The installation of sanitary sewers to be constructed as follows: STREET Main Street Goshen Street Walnut Street Main Street Centre Street Edward Street Edward Street John Street South Bismark Street John Street North Mary Street Rosalie Street Mill Street Mary Street Frederick Street Rosalie Street Victoria Street FROM TO West Village Limit Pumping Station North Village Limit South Village Limit South Limit of Lot 167 Main Street East Village Limit Pumping Station Goshen Street Walnut Street John Street (South) Walnut Street Frederick Street Goshen Street Edward Street South Village Limit South Village Limit Centre Street North Village Limit Main Street 250 feet east of John Street North John Street North 250 feet east of John Street North John Street North Victoria Street John Street North Frederick Street Goshen Street Mary Street Main Street Victoria Street Frederick Street Rosalie Street Main Street including building connections from the main sewer to the street line together with a 13 -acre waste stabilization pond consisting of two 6.5 acre cells, located on part of Lot 19, Concession 10, south of Highway 84 in the Township of Hay. It is proposed to raise the necessary annual revenue for the services provided from the sewage works as follows: a frontage sewage rate of 45 cents per foot per annum on all lands which front or abut on the streets or parts of streets described above, a connection charge of $11.58 per annum on owners or occupants of lands for which a sewage service connection is provided, a 90 per cent surcharge on the water bill of domestic users of the system and a surcharge of not less than 90 per cent on the water bill of all commercial and industrial users; an additional frontage rate of 65 cents per foot will be levied on homes not connected to the water works, but for which sewage service will be provided. In computing the frontage charges, provision shall be made for the exemption or partial exemption from a foot frontage rate and for the determination of such exemption or partial exemption in the following manner: (a) A reduction in the case of .corner lots at the junction or intersection of streets of not more than 100 feet of the flankage and a reduction or increase in the case of triangular or irregularly-shaped lots may be made in the foot frontage rate that otherwise would be chargeable thereon, sufficient, having regard to the situation, value and superficialarea of such lots as compared with other lots, to adjust its frontage charge on a fair and equitable basis. (b) Where a lot is for any reason wholly or in part unfit for building purposes, a reduction may be made in the foot frontage rate that otherwise would be chargeable thereon sufficient to adjust its frontage charge as compared with that of lots fit for building purposes on a fair and equitable basis. Where a lot, other than a corner lot, has two limits that abut on streets described above, and the size and nature of the lot is such that any or all of the works in such streets are not required, a reduction in respect of the works that are not required, so long as they are not required, may also be made in the foot frontage rate that would otherwise be chargeable thereon, sufficient to adjust its frontage charge on a fair and equitable basis. (d) In the case of lots that because of the nature of the terrain or the elevation of the sewer, do not derive the same benefit as other lands abutting on the sewer, a reduction may be made in the foot frontage rate which otherwise would be chargeable thereon, sufficient having regard to the benefit derived as compared with other lots, to adjust the foot frontage rate on a fair and equitable basis. (e) The reduction shall be made by deducting from the total frontage of the lot liable to the annual foot frontage rate so much thereof as is sufficient to make the proper reduction, but the whole of the lot shall be charged with the annual foot frontage charge as so reduced. (c) On the basis of these levies, a house having a frontage of 66 feet would pay the following amounts annually after connection has been made to the system: - 66 foot frontage at 45 cents $29.70 - connection charge $11.58 - 90 per cent surcharge on $48.00 water bill $43.20 $84.48 A hone not connected to the water works and having a frontage of 66 feet would pay the following amounts annually after connection has been made to the proposed sewage works: - 66 foot frontage at 45 cents $29.70 - connection charge • ..v $11.58 - 66 foot frontage at 65 cents $42.90 $84.18 Any ratepayer may, within twenty-one days after the first publication of this notice, send by prepaid post to the Clerk of the Village of Zurich, at the address given below, a notice in writing stating his objection to such approval or to the imposition of the sewage rates. The Ontario Municipal Board may approve the municipality entering an agreement with the Ontario Water Resources Commission for the provision ofProvincial sewage service and may approve the imposing of the sewage rates, but before doing so it may appoint a time and place for a public hearing when any objections will be considered, but notice of such hearing will be given only to those persons who have given notice of objection as provided for above.
