WEDNESDAY, DEC. 24 6 PM Effective Jan. 1, a service call rate for customer owned equipment will cost a minimum of $75, the Goderich Public Utili- ty Commission decided at their Thursday meeting. The $75 cost is a minimum cost because it will cover only the work of one PUC employee for up to two hours. An extra charge will be added if more than one}man is required or if the service call exceeds two hours. ....l:::r",.� if �:o i..• ;.,,A1 1 C11�1�', Ww ♦ vU, v for service calls on customer owned equip- ment. These rates are $15 for after-hours calls, $18 for Sunday calls and $25 for calls on holidays. This $75 charge applies to any service calls which deal with "strictly privately owned ( equipment) and not PUC equip- ment," commissioner Herb Murphy said. PUC manager Evert Middel said this covers "everything to do within your house, including fuses." "Everything that is attached to the house is customer ,owned including the meter base," Middel said. The $75 base rate for customer owned equipment was accepted because Middel said that customers want to know the cost of a service charge when they call. Middel said that a PUC minimum ser- vice call is two hours, adding that a man couldbe at the call anywhere from five minutes to two hours and it would still cost the customer $75. He added that within 10 to 15 minutes the PUC should be able to tell what the problem is. If it is a major pro- blem, the PUC will ask the customer to call a contractor however, the PUC will repair the problem if the customer cannot get a contractor. Middel told the commissioners the ma- jority of calls the PUC receives usually re- quire two men although only one man is sent if it is a minor call such as calls deal- ing with fuses. The PUC encourages customers to check their fuses and as well as checking with their neighbors to see if they have the same problems before asking for help from the PUC.,, dollars is an expensive way to have a fuse changed or as switch turned back on," Mayor Eileen Palmer said. Huron teachers For Pea le n The Move! reach agreement The Huron County Board of Education and its 265 Secondary School Teachers represented by District 45 of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation ' have announced they have reached an agreement for the 1986/87 school year. The Agreement calls for a 3.4 percent in- crease in grid salaries retroactive to Sept. 1, 1986, followed by a 1.1 percent increase effectige,,,Feh.1, 1987 All other salaries :. and allllo"ances were increased by 4 per- inseof F efi 1 1987,1he'tifinimuntand maximum teachers' salaries will be • 30 . The total cost i4ncreasef0 and orthe 1986/87 school yearis approximately 4 percent. The Agreement also calls for a joint in- vestigation into the possibility of establishing an Employee Assistance Plan for all employees of the Huron County Board of Education. There were no changes to the employee benefit package. This is the first time in almost 10 years that the parties have concluded negotia- tiont before Christmas in the year in which they started. Lift budgeted • from page 1 Building Code. Hunter also stated that a Wintario grant may be possible in 1987 for one-third of the total cost and if the town is successful in obtaining the Section 38 grant, that some of the costs for the con- struction of the office and shaft may be funded by the grant. Explosion • from page 1' mine might be back in operation and Robinson said there was further move- ment detected in an area between the two explosion sites. The area of the explosion was closed off after it was noticed that bolts were break- ing off in the roof of the mine, indicating rock movement. The bolts were replaced but the area was closed off to the six to eight employees who normally work in the section when they broke off again. "Some of the guys were edgy at the time and said they wouldn't come back but time will tell. They'vle had a chance to calm down," Robinson said. "They're bringing in equipment to monitor the situation and determine whether it's a pocket of gas or a vein. If it's a pocket, it can be drilled and drained. In the meantime many of guys will be laid off." The union local president said employees are beginning to worry about .jobs and the future of the mine. Ministry of Labor personnel were on the scene Thursday and were underground along with mine management and union representatives Saturday after the mine's rescue team had conducted its sweeping operations. Allin Brady, an inspector with the Min- ing Health and Safety Branch of the Ministry of Labour said the second explo- sion was "a big surprise" adding that there was much more investigative .work to do. "It has rechanged our thinking,"Brady explained in a telephone interview. "It presents a number of questions. The„ in- vestigation is still going on and there is more work to do. The mine will not be open until all parties are satisfied with the in- spection nspection and proposals.” Brousseau said he was hoping some of the men could be recalled at midnight Tuesday, Dec. 16. He said a handful of men would be recalled for inspection and rehabilitation work. The thine employs 345 workers, 290 of Whiph ark, union members. About 45 workers were underground at the time of :he explosion.
