The Citizen, 2006-11-09, Page 24PAGE 24. THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2006. By Keith Roulston Citizen staff Huron County officials are pleased with the results of their voluntary septic tank re-inspection program and have no plans for now to make it compulsory. The issues was raised at the November meeting of county council after Bluewater councillor Jim Fergusson noted a report from the program that showed of the 175 systems inspected in 2005, 25 per cent had problems with their systems and 34 per cent had never had their, tank pumped out. He wondered if the province was moving to make inspections mandatory. • Scott Tousaw, director of planning and development, said he understood there had been no move for such a program other than the aoknowledgement that the province does have the power to order inspections of existing septic systems. Huron's voluntary program has been successful, he said. (There had been 106 inspections in 2006 until September.) - Still, if there is a complaint to a municipality about a septic system that may be malfunctioning, that municipality is obligated to investigate. Huron East councillor Bernie MacLellan said if a mandatory re- inspection was created it would be difficult to force people to repair septic systems if they had no money to carry out the repairs. "That was our concern," said Penny Nelligan, director of the health unit, "that if people were already living in poverty it would put them into even deeper debt." Huron. County has been trying to initiate a loan plan similar to tile drain loans available for draining farmland but has been unable to convince the province to get involved and was told it shouldn't be getting into a loan program itself. Meanwhile, Nelligan said health unit officials feel that education is the first step. "We're not going in (for an inspection) as authorities but as facilitators to help people." Goderich councillor Deb Shewfelt, who sits on the expert panel advising the government on implementation of the new Source Water Protection Act suggested that some of the money the province has provided for implementing the act should go to health officials for an education program. "If you want to fix the septic situation, put a surcharge on taxes like we do for sanitary sewers," suggested MacLellan. If people had already been paying, they'd be quick to ask for repairs to get their money's worth. "We'd end up with the best septic tank system in Ontario if we did that." And, joked warden Rob Morley, councillors would have to buy bullet- proof vests. Congrats David Lew, manager of the county's land ambulance service, left, was congratulated by warden Rob Morley for receiving the Governor General's Exemplary Service medal.
