Water meters seen as way to cut need for sewer plant
Millions at stake in bid to
buy Exeter growth capacity
EXETER - Representatives from
the newly -created Ontario Clean
Water Agency visited town council
Monday evening, and even though
they brought encouraging news, an
underlying message was that the
price for new growth in Exeter will
be expensive.
Exeter is not only looking at put-
ting in a three million dollar pipe-
line to add water capacity for the
town's services, but
also is considering a
joint sewage treat-
ment plant to link to
sanitary systems in
Hensall and Huron
Park.
Such a plant would
replace the present la-
goon sewage treat-
ment system with a
mechanical treatment
plant.
"You're in the mil-
lions, or tens of mil-
lions of dollars for a
total change out," said Bruce Bo-
land from OCWA.
Consequently, Boland said one of
the main concerns for the town
would be to maximize its present
system - to make sure water isn't
going into it that doesn't need to be
there - and maybe a new plant
won't be needed.
He said water conservation meth-
ods, elimination of leaks, and find-
ing storm sewers incorrectly
hooked into the sanitary system can
reduce the need for new sewage ca-
pacity.
"Th

I have seen a 20 to
30 percent reduction in water use
just by putting water meters in," he
said.
Reeve Bill Mickle said he wanted
to know why the sewer system Ex-
eter upgraded years ago is not capa-
ble of being expanded.
"The prices you have indicated it
may cost are just mind-blowing for
a community of this size," said
Mickle. "We put in a
lagoon system which
we felt was going to
serve us for a consid-
erable period of time,
and there have been
changes at the minis-
try level that have not
allowed us to use it to
the maximum."
Boland agreed since
the system's last cer-
tificate was issued 10
years ago have things
changed.
"Each time we go to
do an expansion the rules get tight-
er and tighter," he said.
Boland lifted a glass of tap water
and said its clarity resembles what
is discharged from Lucan new
treatment plant. "I wouldn't drink
it, but that's the level of treatment
we're obliged to provide."
He said New Hamburg is using a
"black box" filter on its lagoon sys-
tem which is working well, al-
though no one knows why. Boland
said it may be adapted for other
communities, perhaps Exeter.
He said the "black box" solution

Zurich
residents still
have to
shovel own
driveways
ZURICH - Village residents who
find their driveways walled in after
the snow plow passes will have to
take care of themselves, ruled Zu-
rich council Thursday evening.
Reeve Bob Fisher told council he
promised several residents who
complained of being walled in he
would bring . up the issue •up at
council.
"They asked if Dennis [Regier,
works superintendent] could plow
out the driveways for the seniors,
they thought they deserved that
much," said Fisher, who noted a
former village employee used to
plow out driveways.
"I've had calls too," agreed coun-
cillor Barb Jeffrey. "They're al-
ways the older people that com-
plain, and we have had a lot of
snow dumped on us at once." -
However, councillor Marg
Deichert-Holmes said she had no-
ticed many advertisements around
town lately to plow out drives.
Council agreed their final deci-
sion on the matter would be to
leave driveway clearance, even af-
ter the town plow has walled them
in, up to the individual property
owner.
might cost only $3 million, as op-
posed to $10 or $12 million for a
new treatment plant.
Paul Isles, also from OCWA, said
Grand Bend, Stephen, and Bosan-
quet Township do have a serious
problem with the costs involved in
their—joint sanitary sewer project.
He said they are looking at infilling
septic systems, and they are also
faced with development proposals
that can't go ahead without the sys-
tem.
He said bonuses are being exam-
ined for incentives to have joint
municipal systems, such as.the Ex-
eter-Hensall-Huron Park plan, and
the Grand Bend-Stephen-
Bosanquet proposal. Such a bonus
may be an additional few percent-
age points of grant funding from
the province, recognizing that joint
systems have the potential to save
millions of public dollars.
PUC commissioner Roy Trieb-
ner, present at the meeting, noted
that present town water rates are
only $12 a month for households.
He said rates would have to be in-
creased substantially to make me-
tered water expensive enough to
encourage conservation. Boland
said his metered London rates work
out to about $200 a year, but point-
ed out meters do virtually eliminate
abuse of water - such as those peo-
ple who excessively water lawns.
Town administrator Rick Hundey
said his draft water conservation
proposal should be available by the
next council meeting.
