According to clerk W.D. Armstrong, the council of the village have been advised that tenders are now being called for the construction of the system, with the closing date set for August 31. In Septemb- er the contract is to be award- ed and construction is to begin. The new system is scheduled to be completed in March 1973, and would be ready for operation at that time. Plans for a sewage system in the village started about four or five years ago, when the Ontario Water Resources Com- mission advised Zurich they were guilty of contaminating area streams. Plans have, been underway on the project since that time, and the engineer in charge is B.M. Ross and Assoc- iates, of Goderich. The system in Zurich will be owned and operated by the Province of Ontario, under legislation which came into effect a couple of years ago. Under this sytem the ratepayers in the village pay an annual rental fee for the service. Since plans were started for the project under the name of the Ontario Water Resources Commission, that department has recently had its name chang ed and now comes under the Ministry of the Environment of the Province of Ontario. Costs of the service, as est- imated at the time of the Ontario Municipal Board hear- ing a couple of years ago, will be approximately $75 to $ 85 for the average home, depend- ing of course on the amount of frontage on the property. The system will only serve the homes within the village limits at the present time, although it has been designed to take on more customers if the need arises. c +'' s'`r'':ents e On Sunday, August 6, at 12:15 a.m. a car driven by Morton Lee, Toronto, skidded out of control on Highway 84 west of Zurich, and collided with a culvert.
