"We're not planning for five years; we're planning for 25 years ahead," stated Councillor Robert- son. e wanted to know if the lave -year guarantee meant that the Ranney firm did not expect the pipes to last longer than five yearsi d'Audiffret assured him that this was not the case. If there are any troubles, they usually show up in the first few years of operation, he Said. Beyond the Ramey collector, es- tunated to cost $70,00(1, Dilr. d'Audi- ffret said that his firm would not undertake construction of the re- mainder of the system. He ex- plained that his firm, as a builder, is not permitted to act as consult- ing engineers in many states and provinces. But he ''assured Coun- cil that his men would be glad to work with the town's consulting engineers on construction of the line up the hill and other pants -of the system. Mayor Graham asked. "What's behind your guarantee?" The president replied that a sum of money might be left with the town for five years if desired. He told of leaving 30 percent of the contract price with a certain U.S. municipality where the Ranney firm ,built a water system recently. Construction Period He estimated that it would take 10 to 12 weeks to build the col- lector, plus four to five weeks to install pumping and electrical equipment. Asked if the Ranney fu -m had any special financing plan, Mr. d'Audiffret said that financing for some municipalities had been er- ranged through a life insurance company. The interest rate on such financing would probably be slightly higher than on municipal debentures, he estimated. As for repairs, the Ranney con- tract would state that the town must receive service within 15 days after notice that there,was trouble, he said. A complete survey would cost $3,000, it was estimated and the, Ranney collector would cost $70,- 000. Pumping and ,electrical equip- ment should cost 'around $35,000, and a water line up the hill and across to "The Pillars" would cost about $6,5,000, it was estimated. "As a matter of fact," said Mr. d'Audiffret, "if we find what we expect to find, cur price for the collector is going to be under $70,000." As part of the contract,"the Ran- ney firm would itself build the $70,000 collector, Council was told. Nearest Col lectors • The nearest Ranney collectors are in operation at _Grand Haven, Mich., and 'Manitowoc, Wis., said the president. He said that the first Ranney installation, made in London. England, in 1932, is still work.ng. There are 125 to 150 Ranney systems in use in the U.S., Approximatelynone-quart- r or one-third of these are muni- cipal systems, while the remainder were built to supply industries. Two or three of the older Ranney systems are no longer operating, he said. If the Ranney firm's pre- ssnt more comFlete 1-_:-;;;i,cige had Ren available when these partic- ular systems were under consider- ation, they would never he been • started. he claimed. The president said that a pre- liminary survey should include the drilling ef at least four test holes' at a cost of $700. This would tell whether the ground formation iiere is suitable for a Ranney saeetern. Councillor Tipple asked if the PUC felt that the Ranney sys!ern merited consideration and if the town should proceed with a test. R. G. Johneten, PUC chairmen, said he felt that a test should, he made before aedecieien is reached. He expressd fear that. the Ranney system might clog. Mr. d'Audiffret maintained4that it will not clag. He suggested that the town enquiries of other municipalities which are using the Ranney • system. Asks PUC Opinion Councillor Tipple asked if it would be correct to a.ssume that i the PUC was not satisfied that it was a good system and should be pursued further. el"To tell you the truth, I don't think it is," said Mr. Johnston. He'added, however. that Council might 'ask the other PUC members what they felt about it. Commissioner George MacEwan commented that the chairmanas re- ply did not necessarily represent the opinion of thePUC as a whole. The Ranney representatives were asked to leave the room while ('ouncil and the PUC considered what step to take next. Elmer Weaver, PUC manager, suggested that it might be wise, as the first step, to find out about the formation of the ground where it is proposed to beaild„.the Ranney callector.

Deputy -Reeve Donnelly agreed that it would be wise to test the ground formation before doing any- thing else. But he added that, at this stagehe would not favor enterii ng nto any arrangement whereby the town Would be oblig- ated to the Ranney firm if the firm drilled th-e test holes. • OWRC Must Okay Mr. Weaver observed that Gode- rich wl also need the approval of the Ontario' Water Resources Com- mission on a chemical analysis of HONE 22 .44 TELENR,21y,, NOV. 71h, 110rX the water to be supplied by any uel.v system Ibullt here. When the Ranney representativ- es were recalled to the room, Coun- cillor Maeiwan informed them, that Council wanted to investigate fur- ther without becoming obligated to the firm. On behalf of Council, he asked if the Ramey organiza- tion would drill the four test holes at the firm's Own expense. Mr. d'Audiffret commented that, ''Obviously, we would not want to drill four holes just for amuse- ment." ,:tut he added that his firm is anxious to do a municipal job in Ontario. He then agreed to have the test holes .drilled at his firm's expense, with "no„strings i.vhatsoeverai' The joint meeting then voted ap- proval of a %notion by Reeve E. C. Fisher, seconded by Mr. Johnston, VIUC chairman, "that Ranney Water Supplies (Canada) Ltd. be author- ized, at their own expense, without obligation to the Town of Goderich and the PUC, to undertake a pra. liminary survey for a Ranney method water supply." Case Histories Mr. d'Audiffret agreed to send Council a "confidential" file out- lining ease histories of other Ran- ney plants nolv in operation. It was statedthat the Rowley collector propOed for Goderich would be a reinforced concrete .$hati) with outside diameter of 16 feet. There would be a building on top of the conceal. This building wouidy presumably house pumps and other controls. Councillor Robertson wondered if the Ranney .system might be vulnerable to a "tidal wave," one of thee phenomena such as was seen here several months ago 7.Vhen or= vessels entering the local harbor were pushed back towards the lake by a tremend4usly power- ful freak current Deputy -Reeve, Donnelly noted that the fflacLaren plan, which Council was considering .before the Ranney plan was introdueed, pro- vided for substantial shoreline pro- tective works around the proposed new water plant Mr. d'Audiffret said that the Ranney collector might be built on the gravel point' below the Sunset Hotel and the top of the shaft should be at least 10 feet above the lake level. a The Ranney plant could be com- pletely automatic in operation, he - added.
