Council supports
new water line
By Scott Nixon
TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF
SOUTH HURON — Council formally decided last
week to support a project that will see a new Lake
Huron water pipeline come to Exeter.
As Mayor Rob Morley said at council's Sept. 5 meet-
ing, a previous motion from council stated the munici-
pality "preferred" a new pipeline over the alternative
— upgrading the municipality's current well water
system, which council doesn't want to do because of
ongoing maintenance and regulations associated with
such systems.
The discussion arose because GreenField Ethanol,
the company bringing the $150 million ethanol plant
to Hensall needs a large source of water — about
2,000 cubic metres per day. Without that water, there
will be no ethanol plant, GreenField vice-president of
corporate affairs Bliss Baker told council last week.
$21 million estimate
Morley said the Lake Huron Primary Water Supply
System project, which would see a new water pipeline
come from Lake Huron to Exeter and then up to
Hensall is an estimated $21,250,000 project. South
Huron's share will be $12 million and Bluewater's is
$3.7 million, while GreenField will pay $5.5 million. In
addition, a $1.9 million, 8,000 cubic metre reservoir
needs to be built on Airport Line with South Huron
kicking in about $1.1 million, GreenField paying
$500,000 and Bluewater $300,000.
Morley told the Times -Advocate Monday the costs
are based on the percentage of water volume used —
South Huron, 73 per cent; the ethanol plant, 16 per
cent; and Bluewater, 10 per cent.
While that equals an estimated total of $13.1 million
for South Huron, Morley confirmed the municipality
will receive a grant of at least $4.4 million for the pro-
ject. That money comes from a grant the municipality
applied for about three years ago. At the time, the
municipality was deciding whether or not to go ahead
with a new pipeline project or upgrade its wells. The
municipality was told the grant, an Ontario Small
Town and Rural Development grant, was only applica-
ble to the cheaper alternative, which was the approxi-
mately $4 million well upgrade option.
Three years later, the municipality learned it will be
able to use that grant money for a new pipeline.
Morley said while the province has agreed to increase
its portion of the grant to take into account inflation,
so far the federal government hasn't. Morley told the
Times -Advocate he will continue to lobby for more
money from both the provincial and federal govern-
ments to increase the $4.4 million grant.
Despite deciding to go ahead with a new water
pipeline, the municipality can still back out if tenders
come back too high. Last week's motion to proceed
