The Lucknow Sentinel, 1965-03-17, Page 1$4.00 A •Year `In. 'deans! $1,00 Extra To.' U S. I' uCOS1'S TO +• ; LUCKNOW,, ONTARIO , WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17th; 1901 Reeve George , Joynt believes that, the village of Lucknow . can- not afford ' an .. expenditure of about $200,000 towards the instal- lation of aW municipal sewage treatment system here. The. Ontario, Water Resources Commission,, in a brief to the • Lucknow council, , has . recommen- dedthat necessary action . be :tak-- , • ea to prevent the discharging ' of contaminated waste waterinto the Lucknow River. A ` water pol- lution ' ,Survey was ,, made by the commission last May, June and July toascertain if this condi- tion existed and the brief was received within the past f e w weeks: The survey report indicated that at that time, ...::"some, septic .:tanks: were discharging., to the water.- course` ,,via , `private drains and connections to the storm sewer system. Solution to `,the problem, according' to the commission, is the installation : of -adequate '•indi- • vidual treatment systems ,or the' installation of a complete, mun- icipal treatment ,works. The brief reported that. Silver- wood Dairies Ltd. in Lucknow was, the only. industry : with sig- nificant waste , water . discharge. They recently installed ; a'' spray irrigation system to . dispose of the process waste water.. .Sam - pies. Sampies: taken 'by the commission .be fore and 'after installation ' indi- cates' that this hasalleviated. the pollution condition. The report 'from the Ontario Water Resources Commission says that they have recommended' far:: several years that a: -consulting. engineer be engaged by the '.mun- icipality to prepare a prelimin ' ary report on . thematter. ' TO date, no serious consideration has been given.: by council• towardsthe municipal treatment works .. pro- gramme. In their brief, the commission reported that the '.village water. supply was , coming from two drilledwells with consumption of about 100,000 gallons per day. .The bacteriological .and chemical, qual-, ityof the water was 'satisfactory;- The. Lucknow River , flows' about 16 miles and empties •into ; Lake, Huron at Port Albert: No swim ming of any account is done in; or around the village but the river is used for this purpose further '.:',downstream ' at various. points on a limited basis. In discussion with the Sentinel; Reeve Joynt feels that it is. time the . government should : examine. more closely the costs involved as they pertain to a smaller mun- icipality. Lucknow : has an assess- ment of about $1,014,000, but :no allowance is made for this and `the subsidy available is ; about 16%, the same as `thatof much, larger municipalities. "It's time they developed some slide-' rule method to make, it economically possible for ,small- er communities to .participate' in such a major program", he said. The•,_ report was scheduled :'for _.. detailed ;study• by council at their next meeting.
