WATCHDOG FOR
MAITLAND RIVER
The. Save the Maitland group,
in their . continuing efforts to
keep the Maitland River as free
from pollution as. possible„, met in
Cranbrook Community Hall on
August 31st.
Their main concern now is that
spraying of effluent from the
• Listowel lagoon on land will not
eliminate ,.the, need, to empty . the
contents of the lagoon cells into
the Maitland:
There will definitely be no
effluent in the river from now
until freezeup, but, unless the
spraying program is• accelerated,
when spraying ceases at freez-
up it will be necessary at
dome time during the winter
months to discharge the effluent
into the Maitland River.
There were a number of memb-
ers present, at the meeting, from
down stream who showed concern
regarding other municipalities
that are adding to the pollution
factor.
The Save the Maitland Assoc-
iation have accomploshed a great
deal by their vigorous efforts:
1. With the cooperation of
news media and OFA they have
kept the sewage effluent out of
the river since May.
' 2. They have written and pre-
sented a brief to the Hon. 'George
Kerr, and the OWRC at the parl-
iament buildings.
3. They have written and pre-
sented a brief to the MORDC
outlining their position and asking
their Cooperation.
They presented the brief also
to the Huron County Planning
Board." •
4. They have received a reso-
lution of support from. the Huron
County Council and Perth County
Council.
5. They have prepared and
sent a brief to Listowel Town
Council regarding pollution prob-
lems in Listowel.
9. They have received a pub-
lic promise by the Mayor of List-
owel that there will be a. stepped'
up construction effort with result
in complete sewers for Listowel
in three to four years.
7. They have succeeded in
bringing the problem into debate
on the floor of the Legislature of
Ontario.
8. With the full cooperation of
press, CKNX and other new's
:media they have succeeded in
bringing before the people of this
part of Western Ontario the facts
of the case.
9. They have taken every step
they possibly could to aid the
OFA to bring about the new ex-
periment of spraying, the effluent
on the land.
10. They have assembled legal
-,advise regarding any suit which
may he unciertalten by our memb,
