the planning board study recommended
that, "a great deal of emphasis should be
placed on maintaining and improving
existing services so that the overall well
bring of the municipality can be
maintained."
Sewage system
Clinton's present sewage system is
designed to service a population of 4,000.
Appro4imately 93 per cent of the
municipality is serviced by the sewage
system, with the remaining area having
individual septic tank systems.
The system is presently under in-depth
study because of major deficiences that

average daily sewage flow x,00 cubic

MCI) as spring thaw, pie fiflw can be in
es -410 of4,55tl. .
A 1954 study completed .by13,1Vi;'Ross and
Associates points 'out -that Much of the
sewage system, which was constructed in
1947, needs considerable repair.
The planning department report
explained the problem, 'In brief, the flow of
sewage 4s taxing the capacity of the existing
system and this is compounded by problems
of inflow from storm drains and infiltration
of ground water."
Water supply
In general, the waterworks system is
sufficient to serve the present and future
requirements in Clinton. However a 1978
report recommended upgrading of the
sources of supply, storage facilities, high lift
pumps and distribution system.
The total water system supports 3,130
persons in Clinton, plus 840 in Vanastra and
100 rural customers. The water supply
comes from three deep rock wells.
Core area parking
The role of core area parking is to make a
shopping district accessible to potential
shoppers.
In Clinton, core area parking has been a
major concern and issues have involved
perception of the parking situation;
administration of parking restrictions and
physical availability of parking.
A 1979 survey indicated that the majority
of centrally located businesses had concerns
over parking. The study revealed problems
with the actual layout of parking areas and
in some instances the lack of parking
facilities.
Fire and police protection
The planning department study reported
that the fire department has a roster of 21
volunteers and one part-time fire chief. The
force is equipped with two pumpers and one
tanker. Eighty-three fire hydrants in the
town provide reasonable fire protection
coverage. Fire protection is also provided to
parts of Tuckersmith, Goderich, Hullett and
Stanley Townships.
The police department is manned by four
officers under the direction of a police chief.
One cruiser is used for patrol.

personnel.

medical care including emergency,
primary, chronic, convalescent, general
surgery, primary diagnostic centre and.
community health centre.
The report stressed, "The process Of
review by both the public and municipality
during the preparation of this research has'
also pointed out the need for a medical
clinic. It' is anticipated that such a facility
would provide service in a more efficient
manner."

blocks and buildings, however it also noted
that many of these require major,
restoration and repair,
"The preservation And enhancement of
the existing_ buildings can serve as a focus
for the community, improving the
appearance of the town while providing a
sense of pride in the community and in some
instances providing a range of facilities,"
the report stated, citing the Clinton town
hall -library restoration as a prime example.
While the report focusses on niany of the
deficiences in town services, these facts
may help Clinton in efforts to receive
Ontario Neighborhood Improvement Plan
(ONIF) funding.
This report has been included as a
background study in Clinton's ONIP
application.
The in-depth study details all aspects of
Clinton, including income and education,
housing and industry, commerce and
services.
