Water restrictions in villnne
Restrictions on the use of water in
the village of Lucan have been put in-
to effect a month earlier than usual-
ly Mainly
sual-lyMainly because of the extreme dry
weather.
Lawn watering is completely bann-
ed and sprinkling of gardens and new
sod is limited to every other day with
no water to be used on Sundays.
In his comments to council, reeve
Norm Steeper said, "The thing that
is utmost in our minds has to be our
water shortage and all of the pro-
blems that parallel disruption of -such
a vital service. A number of actions
have been taken in this regard to en-
sure a supply is maintained not only
for normal domestic use, but for
emergency use as well."
Steeper continued, "Following the
passing of a revised water restricted
use bylaw, it was telt clarification of
its contents was needed. The clerk
then issued a letter of explanation to
residents under my signature."
"Having instituted the bylaw a
month earlier I did not feel it was in
our best interests to go around pass-
ing out fines immediately. Rather

urging their understanding and co-
operation. For the most part this ap-
proach has been successful. However
there exists a very small core who are
not complying and putting all at
risk", the reeve added.
In conclusion on the subject Steeper
said, "Beginning June 1 we are now
issuing charges to anyone who per-
sists in inappropriate use of water as
set out in the bylaw. Again I stress the
number of cases on non-compliance
is very .small. The fines have been
raise�Trom $25 tomato stress the
seriousness of the matter."
Council is -also taking other action
to improve the supply of water. These
steps include researching the legali-
ty of using private swimming pools as
emergency reservoirs, preparing a
list of emergency resources, discuss-
ing with engineers a previous pro-
posal to expand the reservoir at the
pumping station and the possibility of
putting in extra pumps to get well
water into the village.
Council is considering a recommen-
dation from reeve Steeper that a
meeting be set up with the Lake
Huron Pipeline Commission during
the next week. This is in view of Lon-
don's need for an expanded piping
system.
To this Steeper added, "We want to
be in on those plans if possible. The
ministry may not be happy with our
taking such an inititative, however we
need a system improvement and we
need it "yesterday".
Tax rate set
When village residents receive their
1987 tax notices, most will find an in-
crease of 3.314 mills to a total overall

The Sunday School hosted the con-

vice at Lucan United Church led by
Sunday School superintendent Bar-

Stanley.
Barbara using the flannel graph
board, taught the children's story "A
visit to a farm". If you are a city
child, a farm is a magical place, of
animals, open spaces. lots of fresh air
and good wholesome food. A chance
to watch cows being milked and to
help gather the eggs.
This particular farm was one of the
best because the elderly owners
realized the importance of spirtual
food for their young visitors.
So every evening after supper the
Bible was read, one verse was Gal.
6:7 which says "Be not deceived God
is not mocked for whatever a man
soweth, that shall he also reap".
Whatever seed the farmer plants that
is what he harvests.
A dedication was made to the glory
of God and in loving memory of Rev.
