offers The Acton Free Press Wednesday April Rockwood split on water sewage project Approximately per cent of citizens compiled with the recent Ratepayer Associations request letters of protest to the Eramosa Township clerk over the proposed water and sewage property which suggests that at least half the population of Village residents are in favour of progress at any cost Tremendous concern has been stimulated during the past few weeks which has left laymen In a quandary which way to turn and who to believe OWRC representative Gordon Van Fleet clearly pointed out to Rockwood residents some time ago that the water table was polluted and a move must be made in conjunction with the Wellington Health Authorities and the policy of the Ontario government to clean up pollution wherever possible However outside authorities with past affiliation with the OWRC refute the contention that Rockwood has any problem They say the original reason for the sewer and water proposal was economic Many citizens feel that if Rockwood is polluted a move must be made to rectify the situation others are in favour of seeing at least slight progress in the village saying if the Return Miss Bayne

should be prepared to move in at any time to protect the village and its aesthetics from fastmoving developers and speculators Many citizens also accept the possibility of general pollution but know that they can definitely not afford the costs of the proposed plant There are those with intense or questionable water problems who anxiously await the new system hoping for installation as quickly as possible Communications seem to be an Issue and the 0 W C has presented Rockwood people with the lowest reduction It can afford for that particular system 50 per cent lower than cost Many residents from Eden Mills and outlying areas feel that Rockwood should reject the proposal in the hope that the Ontario Water Resource Commission will come up with another solution that will affect the water near their community least As it stands it is of interest to note that of the letters sent to the township clerk protesting the sewer and water proposal were hand written and the remaining from Rockwood were printed form letters 58 were from Eden Mills residents from outside the village proper and were letters from students of collegiate age One petition containing four pages of names also reached the township office as well as one other with eight names requesting that water only be installed Of the 216 written and form letters sent from fewer than half of those were from husbands and wives individually which realizing there are 291 domestic families in the village indicates that less than 50 per cent of the community is protesting and are In compliance with the village and
