oldest man william marshall the mys tery man was jim mcniven dr berry of water resources says present plant overloaded georgetown is going to have some changes in sewage disposal a hew plant or additions to the old one whether they like it or not- speaking fo council at mondays meeting dr a e berry of the ontario water resources commis sion said the present plant was too small and inadequate and overloaded due to- increased popu lation he said the commission was primarily interested in sew age being treated properly so it would not polute- the streams whether this was done hy addi tions to the present plant or by a new one but some program had to be formulated in the near fu ture dr berry answered several questions as the meeting develop ed into a question and answer ses sion mayor armstrong said the town had already had engineering re ports prepared but due to a change in economic thinking of munici palities he wanted to determine where the money was coming from before delving further into the project he wanted to know if the town could afford a new million dollar plant and would it be approved dr berry said he couldnt speak for the municipal board in regards to approving sane but that the town should find out de finitely what was required and the absolute cost debentures need not be issued through water resources financing and principal payments van be deferred up to as much as five years interest rates however must start on completion of plant mayor asked what type of sew age disposal would be initially the most economical or ultimately the most economical and dr ber ry said that a plant for the host interests of the town eventually would be a new one with payments spread over a period of 30 years interest rates would be the pre vailing rates at the time at pres ent 517 percent mayor armstrong said that i there was an old adage the man that pays the fiddler calls the tune what authority would the water resources commission ex ercise over the municipality if it built a new plant dr berry stated the commission would own the plant until the debt is paid however an advisory committee would be appointed by the town council to do all detail work and look after maintenance dr berry said his board did there toast be an error in the 10000 population figure was dr berrys comment the plant was designed for treating 00000 gals of sewage a day now it is two or three times that figure there is nothing wrong with the plant it self just overloaded dr berry continued v cr sykes asked if our plant was now obsolete and dr berry re plied that it was not but there were two kinds of- plants trick ling and activated sludge he favoured an activiated sludge plant if a new one was construct ed in answer to another ques tion by cr sykes on how long our present sewage system would last jr berry said the time had already passed although his department didnt want to be dic tatorial about the matter cr sykes said tbe town was placed in an awkward situation first warning we had was only two weeks ago dr berry inter rupted by saying that the town engineering department had been aware of the commissions feel ings for some time the town couldnt foresee the deveoipraent it has found itself in when the old plant was built hut all his depart ment asks is that adequate treat ment is given we cant increase taxes was councillor sykes opinion and dr berry said the new plant could be paid for through the water department on a monthly billing system cr hyde said that the engineer who designed the plant felt cer tain additions could be made to the plant to handle 9000 popula tion what is your opinion will these additions take care of this dr berry said the type of plant that it is doesnt add easily mayor armstrong asked if the coin mission would treat additions in the same way financially and dr berry said he wouldnt want to get involved in additions cr hyde felt what we have now in the way of housing and indus try would not warrant a new plant dr berry said it would be difficult to give an answer if you grow as i hope you will a plant should he designed for the future after the discussion period cr hyde proposed a motion to have the engineering firm of c r hagey prepare plans for adequate sewage disposal in georgetown the motion was withdrawn when i some councillors feared that they tions to the existing plant bat that it might not be impossible to persuade the board if the council deemed this the most eco nomically method he did not think it advisable or economical to pump sewage back to the old plant with additions from houses farther down the creek what is wron g with our plant asked cr alf sykes i believe it was designed for a population of approximately 10000 now we cant even handle 6000 enure plant is wrong can
