deputy minister Everett Biggs and one other member of the min istry were trus lees and township councillors with the exception of Jim Milne Clerk Lloyd was also present and John Root for Welling ton county Gist of the meeting was to determine whether additional subsidy from the province could be established At an earlier meeting with the tees and township council a ministry representative Toia had shown the lowest tender received for sewer main installations in the vil of had risen 100 percent over the original estimate established last year Mr Tora had suggested It was possible another sub sidy could be arranged which could somewhat case the in creased coats for homeown era Made request A Friday a meeting it was learned the ministry had gone to the provincial government requesting that ten percent of tbe increased coat could be absorbed through a winter works program Deputy mm ister Biggs told the blage the suggestion was turned down We ere told it would set a precedent he said At the township council of Oct Mr Toia had indicated that if install were cancelled costs in on the project over the last two years would be split between the ministry of and taxpayers of At Friday meeting Mr Downey who accompanied deputy minister Biggs stipulated tint cancel the program would see taxpayers of Eramosa absorbing all costs to date Trustee chairman Gary Bat was enthusiastic at the deputy re He is the first government who has indicated even slightly that other alternatives should he considered he said Mr BatemansoidMr Biggs talk about looking at live methods to sec if it is necessary to put such a large and expensive system into such a small community Tenders received by the ministry Tor only one phase of the project would mean that the yearly cost of a ft lot and dwelling would be as opposed to the original estimate of Z48 Fridays suggestion or seeking alternatives hit at least two council and trustee member- They recalled the original meeting held to necessity for the sive system At that time other alternatives could not be even considered they said At that lime the istry had said nothing over and abov updated tertiary posed HIM investigate John Itoot was brought into the picture Deputy of Duncan asked if John Hoot as an elected repre could talk to the ministry and see further if the ten percent cost could not be underwritten through the winter works program Mr Root he look into the matter Asked by Mr Biggs what alternatives had already been explored council explained surveys had been made by the Wellington County Health Unit Trustee Bob Icshc told the deputy minister that at that time there was never any establ ished source from where tests taken He litditatcd he did not feel they were Mr Italic referred to suits of a house to house vcy taken two years ago by the Rockwood and District Ratepayers Association He quoted final figures given in answer to trie question What do you think about your well water trustee said real dints were approached whom owned their own homes the other were ten Mr Leslie said that the question The breakdown showed rest denh red Very pure said Pure enough to drink and 10 said their drinking water was a Utile bit polluted tour others said Definitely polluted Mr told the deputy isler In his estimation findings were the only substantial ones to go by plus two hit and miss survey scon ducted by the Wellington County Health Unit Update Information According to trustee Leslie On this the deputy minister said he a like to get some up- to date information Bob Leslie explained that pollu tlon situations in the village would naturally not be ex pec tod to improve during the waiting period between now and when the system was first proposed in 19C0 Using his own well as an example he said No way am I going to the expense of drilling a new one until I know for sure the system is not being led Resold he will continue to chlorinate until such time as the decision is made If the ministry says no I will begin to drill a new well im mediately he said According to the anxious trustee The important thing people aware of is that If installation costs have spiralled for the system itself It stands to reason cost of home hook will also have spiralled trustee and business man sees the potcn legislation as a forced one whom all residents will have to hook up regardless of pre sent facility efficiency simply cannot see a leglsla lion being put through which will not apply to one as well as another lie said and his statement it a matter of straight One more thing which residents should realize said Mr Leslie is that in two time established rates will be reviewed They can then be reset to cover costs Well have to assume he said they will naturally be much higher again waves At Friday s meeting Mr Leslie said if costs stayed within ten percent of the rates originally specified tied them as inflationary ones If they re within ten percent I won make waves he said will make waves if anyone tr to put through costs that could result In terrible bur dens for village residents if the contract Is left as it now stands Deputy minister Biggs said group of ministry people w on Id be sent to the Hinge to investigate water Not the Wellington Health Unit people said Mr Leslie but a group from the will conduct their own survey The trustee ex there is a 60 day time on present tenders and to keep ilhln the limit before even higher costs arc tender the must be con ducted as soon as possible Ministry representative Downey said he would check the to learn their feelings on the increased costs When attending the Oct meeting with the bra township council trus tee Leslie had proposed eon slderation of more recent sewage disposal systems for individual home owners which are presently
