The water and sewage services have, until now, proved adequate but if the progress of Ajax is to continue unretarded, these services must be enlarged. MUCH DISCUSSION The problem is no new one to the local authorities who have held many discussions on their mu- tual problems, foremost has been schools, sewage disposal, sewers, and Jncreased daily gallonage of The: proposed sale of water to Pickering Village does not affect {the situation unduly. It is antici- "pated that all the serviced residen- tial lots will be built upon this vear. Some 60 homes are under construction or planned and the season only just started.

A new trunk sewer will require a major addition to the existing sewage disposal plant or a com- pletely new plant. This is a mu- nicipal problem -- the subdivider will bear the cost of the trunk sewer estimated to cost $175,000; a new disposal plant will cost in the neighborhood of $250,000 un- less the decision is made to en- large the existing plant, when the cost will be much lower. But the problem must be met and soon to ensure the continued progress and development of Ajax. NEED ADEQUATE WATER Water problems are not so seri- ous but the two go hand in hand and increased development is con- tingent upon an adequate supply of water.

The pumping station is to be remodeled and a reservoir con- structed in close proximity to the station. This program will be ex- tended over the next three or four years. The 16-inch main to Third Street is scheduled to be started in a few weeks. With the enlarged pumping fa- cilities the town will be assured of adequate water for many years to come, and will be able to kesp pace with both industrial and resi- dential expansion.
