Waterworks System Study Will Assist RIC -Planning A comprehensive study of Seaforth's water requirements in future years, in relation to capabilities of the existing fac- ilities, has been authorized by the Public Utility Commission. Requirement for the study at this time arose in view of the development road program which it is expected the coun- ty will carry out on Main Street - next year. The commission- has approved the' appointment of the engin- eering firm of James F. MacLar- en Limited to carry out the gttidy at a cost of $3,700. The firm acts as consultants to the town in connection with studies • of storm and sanitary sewer re- quirements and in conjunction with the OWRC is preparing proposals for both services. • The present Seaforth, water works system was designed and installed in the early twenties — more than 40 years ago. ,Since then, while on occasions, engineering studies have. been carried out for specific pur- Poses, there has been no over- all look at the system. In the meantime certain aspects of the system have,become obsolete in terms of todaY's requirements anti other areas have 'depreciat- ed through the years. - According to commission chairman, R. S. Box, the study will provide an overall review and will bring to the commis- sion information on which to • base decisions concerning nec- essary replacements and addi- tions in the light of anticipated future requirements. The study Will involve all as- pects of the system and will follow terms of reference agreed 10 by the PUG and the consultants. Included is an investrgatioir of the actual per capita water consumption based on calibra- tion of existing central „water meters and if --necessary a gen- eral survey' Of leakage in the distribution Systecin. , The terms Of reference *t- ering the survey go on to pro- vide that the Consultants will: "Study and -^ report . on the condition and 'general adequacy • of the existing supply, storage- aTid diStribution facilities in the light of accepted North, Alheri- can waterworks practice.
