Ontario Water Resources Commission has investigated the possi b ility of developing within the Village, a sewage works project to be owned by the Province of Ontario consisting of acquisition of Works already constructed, and the construction of new collector sewers and an extension to the existing treatment works all of which will provide the major part of the municipality with sewage service. It is now proposed to acquire and construct such wprks at an estimated.cost Of $505,578, For services provided from these works it is proposed to impose an estimated service rate of 51 cents per 1,000 gallons of sewage accepted from the municipality, frontage rates and connection charges and a general mill rate levy as set out in, detail below. The project will consist of the following works initially: Acquisition of sanitary collector sewers already constructed together with a five (5) acre waste stablilization pond, a pumping station and a forcemain, and the installation of new sanitary sewers to be constructed as follows: STREET FROM Main Street Approx. 575 feet (Hwy.

Langford Drive' Langford Drive Albert Street Princess Street Alice Street Market Street Approx. 215 feet south-east of Fairview Place Approx. 110 feet south of Main Street Main Street Beech Street Duchess Street Lewis Street Beech Street (existing sewer) Beech Street Market Street Beech Street Duchess Street Butler Street Stanley Street (existing sewer) (a) Wellington Street Francis Street Fourth Concession Rd.

For the provision of services from these works, it is proposed to raise the necessary annual revenue as follows: a frontage sewer rate of 42 cents per foot per annum on all lands which front or abut on or connect to the sewer system on the streets or parts of streets described above, a connection charge of $7.85 per annum on owners or occupants of lands for which a sewage service connection to existing sewers is provided, a connection charge of $9.39 where service connection to the new sewers is provided, a 64 percent surcharge on the water bill of all users of the system and a 0.9 mill rate levy on all rateable property within the Village, In instances where there is no connection to the water works, the charge for sewage service normally recovered by the water bill surcharge is to be recovered by the imposition of a foot frontage rate of $23.04 divided by the lot frontage per annum on the owners or occupants of such lands, This foot frontage rate does not reduce or eliminate any other frontage rates imposed on properties for sewage or water works. In computing the frontage charges, provision shall be made for the exemption or partial exemption from a foot frontage rate and for the termination of such exemption or partial exemption in the following manner: A reduction in the case of corner lots at the junction or intersection of streets of not more than 125 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 superficial area 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. (c) Where a lot, other than a corner lot, has two (2) limits that abut on streets described herein 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 on the foot frontage 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. On the basis of these levies, a home connected to the existing sewer system and to the water works and having a frontage of 60 feet would pay the following amounts annually after the new works are constructed, 60 feet frontage at 42 cents $25.20 Connection charge 7.85 64 percent surcharge on $36.00 water bill 23.04 Mill rate — 0.9 mill of $8,000 , 7.20 Total $63.29 For those in the area in which new sewers are to be Constructed, the charges would be as follows: 60 foot frontage at 42 Cents $25,20 Connection Charge 9,39 64 percent surcharge on $36.00 water bill ttttt , .. , . , . . , ttttttttttt 23,04 Mill Rate— 0.9 mill of $8,000 7.20 Total $64,83 A home in the area in which the new sewers are to be constructed not connected to the water works and having a frontage of 60 feet would pay the following amounts annually after connection has been made to the proposed sewage works. 60 foot frontage at 42 cents . . . ttt . , ......... .. , — .$25,20 60 foot frontage at $23,04 /60 , 23.04 Connection Charge , . , „ , . , — .. 9.39 Mill Rate — 0,9 mill of $8,000 ...... . , .. 7.20 Total $64.83 Any ratepayer may, within twenty-one (21) days after the first publication of this notice send by prepaid post to the Clerk of the Village Of Lucan at The address given below, a notice in writing stating his objection to this proposal or to the imposition of the sewage rates.
