Region will have to seek alternate water sources to serve the town of Acton Regional Public Works Director Hob Moore claims The quest for water in Acton has turned into a four way battle involving Tannery Canada Packers Ltd a legal claim to the Fairy Lake water resources the Ministry of the local Conservation Authorities and Region It been a frustrating process for all involved Moore said yesterday in an interview The Prospect Park well whith taps source water under Folrv was drilled years ago in hopes of solving Acton s water shortage problems onto and for all Since then numerous tests and consultations have finally isolated method of treating the water which was at first found to be too high in iron and manganese content for use in he town water system Credit Valle Conservation and the Ministry of the Environment have stepped in with concerns about the water levels of Fairy Lake and Black Creek and Beardmore Tannery seems reluitant to allow anything which will affect their major water source Hills Major Peter described the process which the region and the municipality have gone through in recent years as chasing our tail First they Ministry of the mcnl make the capital grants available for us to go ahead with the projeel at Prospect Park then they turn the whole thing down because of environmental concerns he described In a Planning and Public Works Committee meeting lost week Dialogues environmental authorities Beardmore and Region have been going on for some months but have failed to resolve Moore explained Now the region is prepared to spend SI million on a treatment plant to give Acton the water to serve existing and future development needs and the resolution of the question becomes necessary Moore said there had been some noises made prior to December 1982 about en vironmental concerns but it was not until the region was close to solving the water treatability problem that the environmental and legal questions surrounding the use of the water suddenly became a major issue Now he said it is up to the region to find a wav o use the well so the environmental risks and the access to Fairy Lake water resources by arc minimal We don want go ahead and build a million- dollar treatment plant and find afterword that wl cannot use it Planning and Development Director Rash Mohammed told the committee last week that the solution to Actons water problem is about a year away Reports from Anderson and Associates consultants working on the water treatability problem indicate that the treatment plant at Prospect Park would cost about SI million compared to the cost of drilling and pum ping water from outside sources anywhere from to million Public Works Committee however has approved test drilling operation on the line west of Atton at a cost of and further studies on the effects of Liking water from Prospect Park in a bid to the problem one way or another For years we thought the water question was Now sudden we find it is a question of quantity whether we can use the well as a main water resource without fitting the levels of Fairy Lake and Black reek Moore said Severed land mostly swamp lind Committee last granted a

dourian lfXPoplar Ave all attended the meeting to the minor variance committee minutes states Assadourian told the committee he bought on Poplar Ave because it was an established neighborhood with large open spaces on cither side of his house He suggested building a new home so close to his would undoubtedly depreciate the value of his property considerably and he and his family would be deprived of privacy Any new home on the new lot would have to be within about 10 feet of his kitchen and bedroom windows If there was a driveway on the side his house la on his privacy would be further eroded by noise and car ex haust fumes He contended the new lot wouldnt be big enough for a house and two or three big trees would have to cut down Assadouri an noted ail lots in the neighborhood are 80 feet wide McGinn said he was opposed for the same reasons as Assadouri an He noted there was a lane way at the rear of the present lot which abuts his property that nobody uses now but he fears could be used In the future Taylor said he also backed Assadourians concerns He said that while a new house might enhance the value of Greers land it have a ripple effect which would devaluate all the properties in the neighbor hood I Meander Mabel I From now on I am going to grow only red cabbages The butter fly my cabbage leaves to shreds and I am not one to dust with some poisonous material spend a great deal of time crushing tha little demons with my bare hands and often miss a lot on the green cabbages But the worms show up well on the purple ones and so 1 have the battle 1 think a person who invents little umbrella screens for people who grow few cabbages would make a million dollars No disease seems to bother a cabbage but the cabbage butterfly worms can ruin one It was noted that in the past residents asked the Town to close the but It wasnt done because not all property owners In the area agreed But If there t frontage for the house to have a drive way neighbors worried that the laneway abuts Ed property and apparently the entrance would be from land New lot on Poplar Ave Halton Land Division Committee granted a severance for William and Anne Greer of Poplar Ave last Tuesday evening in Milton The proposed severance will initiate construction of a new residential building according to the applicant Greer plans to relocate the existing garage to conform to regional bylaws A group of Poplar Ave and area residents voiced their objections to the severance at the public meeting H explained that he looked at the established area when I chose to move there The Acton man went on to claim that his privacy will be eroded and it will undoubtedly depreciate the value of my property with construction another dwelling The complaints centered around the area becoming over crowded However com mittee member Dolly commented that the land severance case was a classic one and that its a way of life in the development of a community The applicant claimed that it was not a case of severing and running as the property has been In the Greer family for years But Charles McGinn of Crescent St contended that things might be different if Mr Greer was staying in one lot and severing the other he would have to put up with it like everyone else The committee though unanimously approved the application pending normal regional conditions regarding
