Water to cost
residents more
.
That tall cold glass of water
you have to fiuench your thirst
on a muggy summer afternoon
will cost you a dollar more in
August than it did in July.. The
Goderich' Public Utilities
Commission is' raising its water
rates August 1 to stave off extra
costs they face from the
Ministryof the Environment,.
`""'The price hike will be in ef-
fect as of August -1 and all bills
after that date will inteclude the
extra di,ar regardless of the
• consui,;ption ' time. Thosd:
residents receiving their bills.
for water used 'in July will pay
e,lra but those ' fortunate
enough to get their bills prior to
the beginning of the month will
have a months grace.
The extra revenue, realized
by the PUC is to ward off the
increase- handed them by the
Ministry of Environment
,,(formerly the ,Ontario, Water
Resources Commission). The
1975 -budget from the ministry
is up this year from -$94,000 .to
$119,000 forcing the Goderich
commiss-ioi ' to pay an
estimated $25,090 • more this
year for water.
The residential rates in
..Goderich are averaged out by
the PUC to a flat rate regar
,dless of constinription. About

property catalogued.
The society proposed a'.
committee to review the listed
property and to; hear, com-.
plaints Dr requests from the
owners. The committee ,could
include someone frorri. the
planning, board, the, council, a'
citiien and two members of
,council according to the society
and 'would have a good cross
section 'of The town included in
the issues at stake.
• The delays brought'about 'by.
.the bylaw would .mean that
anyone wishing to alter an
historically listed house could
face..,. about , a nine month'
waitin�;- ;peri3O,d •'before they
received a- y permission to do

,
The urgency of the 'matter
was pointed , out , by Mrs.
Wallace, She said that a man in
Hamilton had gone to city hall
and. applied for a demolition.
.,pe,rniit at about 4:45 in , the•
afternoon'. The following
morning •the crews were at the •
site and' the building was solar
gone nothing could be done to
save it:` -St d that wa's the
sort of thing the.society wanted
to prevent..
Mayor, Deb Shewfelt said he
-was aware of the Hamilton
situation adding that the city
-council had' put a two-year
freeze on one of the older areas
of the., city preventing
dem'olition and, from a
preservation angle, they,• had
been very successful. '
•
2,800 water 'ctiskorners a
this rate and the increase
mean an extra $33,600 'a
- for the PUC ,from the:'
re$idential customers.
Large industrial consumers
requiring much more water are
on a metered rate nd these
costs will go up approximately
a
.c
22 percent.
Discussing the new rates, the.
PUC commissioners expressed,
,some concern over the possible
shortage of water in Goderich if
the, . weather continues with
another dry spell like the three,
weeks of fair weather just
passed. The dry spell kept' the
Goderich' water v pumping
station going at full capacity~
'and threatened a shortage of
water for lawn sprinkling
purposes.
Maurice " Wilkinson, ; ,chief
operator 'of the Goderich
pumping station, , said in an
interview with the Signal -Star
that the greater water usage in
Goderich corribined with failure -
to adhere to ; la'wn watering'
regulations , threatened to
deplete the town's water
_ pressure that could have'
caused •, problems ."'for
homeowners ' and.. increased
danger of fire damage.
Mr. Wilkinson said that as
more and snore 'water 'is. used
the main storage tank on Albert
s treet drains,,, resulting' in less
water pressure for residents in
.,the eastern section of town. He
pointed put that the decreased
pressure, reduced' the of-'
festiveness ',of installed fire
spr nkIers� .iii ; factories and
reduced the pressure "to fire
hydrants. `�•
Several days .during the dry
period y: the ,water,•pumpi,ng
statiddn was operating at full
capacity pumping - about -1.8
million gallons of water. Mr.
Wilkinson said that the holding
areas. would just about be filled,
when the water us'e.would start
to" pick up arid, the supply he"
depleted: He suggested that
possibly more holding areas for,
water may be needed as
Goderich grew to handledin-
creased r' .housing, lawn
sprinkling and backyard pools..~
• In other business the com-
mission 'decided not to sell, the
alleyway bordering °" their
neer-t y -en-- etf3
'property is beside- the hydro
' sub station on P'ictorrand'forms
an alley between Piston• and.
Britannia Road, Traffic trying
to beat - the new stop lights' 'at
Britannia and Huron Toad has
been using the alley con-
sistently .and a' resident of the
area, Dan Melick asked to buy
the property so he could block it,
•
off and ,stop the traffic.
The commissioners felt that
the situation was hazardous for
.the residents -'of the area and
voted to install three posts in
the centre of the alley to
prevent cars - from passing
through, The move,would.
accommodate bicycland
pedestrian traffic and, enable
the PUC to retain the property
to. allow them possible ex-
pansion of their sub station.
