Water topic of Hay
Water - in municipal ana private -
drains, in barns, in the lake or from
the tap - spurted up in every discus-
sion beween Hay township councillors
and various delegations at the coun-
cil's first May session.
Ten affected property owners and
Bob Fisher representing the village of
Zurich sat in on the reading of the
final report on the Truemner dram.
Engineer Bruce Holdsworth gave a
brief history of the drain. and pointed
out on a map some of the severe ero-
sion problems to be corrected when
the drain is repaired.
The estimated cost of $56,100 which
includes $26,000 for labour and $27,070
for materials will pay for straighten-
ing where the drain has been
meandering, and stop erosion at
vulnerable sites by cutting off one
bank and protecting the other with
riprap, clearing brush, and other
remedial measures.
The drain affects 4.20tf acres.
Holdsworth said he is recommending
a buffer strip six feet wide on each
side of the ditch. He said everyone
should be watching for erosion pro-
blems on their own property, adding
that OMAF grants will pay up to 55
percent of,krosion control measilreson
private property up to a maximum of
$7,500.
The date for a court of revisiion on
the Truemner drain has been set for
June 3 at 8:30 p.m. Tendersmillbe
called if there are no appeals.

lot 6, from recreational to restricted
agriculture. County planners Patty
White and Wayne Caldwell. and
Warden Paul Steckle were there for
the same purpose.
The diagram with Overholt's
original application last year showing
the creation of three lots was turned
down, as the minimum/size is one
acre. The number of lots was reduc-
ed to two, and Overholt applied to
sever one. An application to sever the
other followed last month. •
- Neighbouring cottage owners have
told Reeve Lionel Wilder they are
concerned that there is no access to
the beach from the two lots. They fear
loss of privacy that would likely result

from further development.
Overholt has enough land to create
six lots. In order to preclude more
development. Overholt indicated he
was willing to change the land use
designation on the property behind
the two lots from its current recrea-
tional to restricted agriculture.
The two planners said council could
stipulate in the secondary plan that
only the two lots in question could be
.severed, or could encourage Overholt
to proceed by the more formalized
plan of subdivision process where
conditions governing matters such as
lack of beach access would be part of
a developer's agreement.
Steckle, as a member of the coun-
ty planning committee, spoke in
favour of the latter course. He said
the plan of subdivision would give
future councils the least problem. ad-
ding that applying a bandaid solution
or changing designation doesn't
resolve the problem.
Council was divided on how to deal
with the situation, as Overholt was not
present. Claire Deichert moved a mo-
tion, seconded by Murray Keys, that
a decision be deferred until Overholt
has an opportunity to discuss the mat-
ter with council. He will be invited to
attend the next regular meeting on
May 21.
Rosaire Bedore came to council
because spring runoff had flooded his
property at lot 21. concession 14. He
said he had two feet of water in his
barn, and had to do his chores in hip
boots. His cattle were in water up to
their knees. Bedore said he has had
serious problems ever since the
township raised the road, preventing
water from running across: .
Bedore requested another culvert
be installed to solve the problem.
Wilder -promised that he would ac-

Fisher and Councillor John Elder.
commissioner of drains in that end of
the township, to. make an on-site in-
spection and bring a recommendation
to council.
A complaint of excess water from
the Co -Op property was received
from Mrs. Ruby Neeb. Wilder doesn't
think the township can do anything
until the Zurich south drain is
cleaned.
Deputy Reeve Tony Bedard
reported receiving "a lot of flak" in
the past 10 days from people "hungry
for decent water."
John Elder pointed out that the :33
percent of the 800 affected property
owners in the Highway 21 area who
are willing to put up -front money in-
to a pipeline project are too few.
Without government backing, the
twonship can do nothing, as $2.5
million would be required to build the
system. The new government might
be willing to listen, but if they opt for
a summer recess, the legislature will
not sit again until September.
Ted Soudant brought a fence pro-
blem before council. He explained
that part his family's portion of a
fence in heavy hush between
themselves and the Ray Rader pro-

Rader wants the fence repaired im-
mediately, so he can put his cattle out
to pasture.
Soudant said he is most willing to
fix the fence, or provide money for
stakes and barbed wire, but right now
his first priority is planting $60,000
worth of seed potatoes.
Wilder said if Rader makes a for-
mal complaint, the fence viewers will
