Township council last 1 londay

For Boat Sewage
Pumping se wage out of pleasure
craft on the lal<e has become a
problem this year. Grand
Bend is very well equipped in
this respect, being one of only
three pumping -out stations along
the lower shores of Lake Iluron.
The village of Grand Bend itas
two people equipment to pump •
our the holding tanks of pleasure
craft.
It has been just this \ear that
the use of holding tanks for
sewage on most pleasure crafts
has become. iiiandatory. This
has created a problem for boaters
looking, for a place to clear
their holding tanks.
Some boats are equipped to
purify scow a,gc by the addition of
chlorine, and these systems are
still legal. According to the
Canadian l)epartincnt of Trans-
port they may still be used until
1071, but may not be installed
in boats riot so equipped at tits
present.
In Grand Bend pumping,
facilities may, be found at two
places. \lanore. Alarina has
the equipment and the village
has entered into an agreement
with William Finch for pumping
out equipment.
Sewage disposal will still
continue to plague the pleasure
boater, but Grand Bend is now
equipped to handle the problem.

Glenn Grindlay, owner of
the motel property has been
receiving water from the Grand
Mend pipeline for the last couple
of weeks and he will be allowed
to take water until the issue is
settled.
Two months earlier, Grindley,
by registered letter had asked
that his property be annexed by
Grand Bend in order to receive
a water supply legally.
Stephen Reeve dances
llayter criticized tlic manner in
which the request of Grindlay for
water was handled in the first
place.

permit to proceed by Reeve

IIayter Went Oil to say "in
the beginning we were; given to
understand you would co-operate(
by supplying water to the fringe
areas. Then, one ]tour before
the water was to be Turned on,
Grindlay was told his request
was denied. No wonder, he
asked for annexation, he had no
choice after spending about a
thousand dollars on installation."
When other members of ti13
council found out the permit
was issued they objected and
then the request was denied.

Ian Coles, one of the objecting
councillors said at ;\londa)'s
