Waste .management questi
Huron County residents are being given
the opportunity to provide valuable input in-
to decisions regarding future waste
management in Huron County. An evalua-
tion criteria questionnaire has been mailed
to a random sample of about 1,200 residents
in the County. The questionnaire is designed
to determine community values regarding
the importance of protecting various com-
ponents of the environment from impacts of
a waste management system.
The survey is a component of the work be-
ing undertaken in conjunction with the
Huron County Waste Management Master
Plan. The information gathered will be used

Seaforth PUC ::°tom look at water simply capacity
The Seaforth Public Utilities Commission
has • begun discussion about the proposed
John Hart development west of Seaforth.
The utility will in future be looking at its
current water system, to see what it will be
able to supply the development with, if re-
quested, and what the cost would be. On-
tario Hydro, and not the Seaforth utility, will
be responsible for supplying the develop-
ment with hydro. Many questions regarding
the feasibility of wells, fire protection, etc.
have to be answered.
A ratepayer noticed water sprinkling out
of the water tower, and reported it to the
utility. PUC Manager Tom Phillips says the
