ing again Halton Regional public works commissioner Bob Moore said Wednesday Miltons water supply showed contamination last week with high levels of fecal cloriform at an area near the hospital at Derry Road West Bottled water was being shipped in for hospital use But the news is all good now Mr Moore told councillors The bacteria level is now safe for water consumption Blocked pipes connected

it the public works commissioner said The line is a relief valve and is subject to fluctuations and pressure Tampering with the water lines can disturb the water flowing to area residents SEPTEMBER 24 PAGES Haltons recycling efforts wasted unless market arises IU DOW KM I Halton would be wasting its time recycling 50 per cent of its waste by the year if there is no market for recycled goods Regional waste management director John MacKay said last week The Regions mandate as a member of the Greater Toronto Area initiative which includes Halton Peel Durham and York Regions as well as the municipali of Metropolitan Toronto is to in crease waste diversion to 25 per cent by 1992 and by 50 per cent in the year The 25percent reduction target is reasonable and Halton has the experience to meet this goal Mr MacKay said But he added without an adequate market the 50percent goal cannot be achiev ed Environmentalist and Milton Regional Councillor Bill Johnson said recycled goods need a stable market The present market fluc tuates like a stock market be said Governments at all levels must set a recycling trend be add ed I agree with Coun Johnson Al this point in time no we do not have the market Mr MacKay said You cannot isolate the marketing side of it from the col lection side A number of projects have run Into serious trouble ignor ing marketing There was a glut in the newsprint market after boy scouts and girl guides collected newspapers in the early years of recycling Coun Johnson said A lot of the newspapers ended up in the landfill sites Newspaper was recycled for use m the shingle market But when that market slumped there was no use for the extra newsprint Governments should use only recycled paper the councillor add First of all you say for the newspaper and paper all govern ment agencies after a certain date should only purchase paper with a 40percent recycled con tent Coun Johnson said That will create a market and will allow large businesses to follow suit if the government takes the lead he said And the Milton councillor said there should be no returnable bottles They should be outlaw ed a beer bottle can be used on the average of at least 10 times Mr MacKay said the 50percent goal for diverting garbage in cannot be reached without composting garbage There is a project under way in Oakville to test that recycling method There should be a good percen tage of compost growing with the topsoil Johnson said Composting will not succeed unless the governments at all levels help us with composting as they should with recycled paper began a waste recycling system in Georgetown as early as 1978 Recycling spread to Burl ington in the late 70s and to Oakville and Milton in and 1985 The Region took over the entire program in Police to hire
