BRANCH NO. 197To the editor, The ducks are lovely, but Since December, 2005, we have been living in a new home in Rockwood. At the back of our property and six other homes runs a very large and deep drainage channel. Until we all can fence around our properties the situation is very unsafe as anybody has access to this large expanse of open water which is deep enough to pose a threat of drowning to small children. We have been trying to get our grading passed for many months and in spite of numerous phone calls and a visit to the land surveyors office we were not able to resolve this issue. Af- ter informing Councillor John Scott of the danger- ous situation he informed the township staff and they acted very speedily by informing the people con- cerned that they must rectify the problem. The channel was drained by the builder on Friday and is currently safe until it rains. There is much work to be done so that this chan- nel remains in a satisfactory condition. I am sure that Mr. Scott and Mr. Ken Gagnon, man- ager of public works for Guelph/Eramosa Township, will continue to monitor the situation but we would like to thank them both for act- ing so conscientiously and promptly to effect a change to this potentially dangerous situation. Sheila and Roy Yorke, Rockwood.
