Hole GEORGETOWN Ontario In are high est- the Cad Ihcy are much much lower to a city Gudpb Just a few away from HOls A cittern Jim Gordon raised the difference between water sewer bills in HIIU and those in Guelph at Fridays Acton Councillors dropin Gordon noted the average here is about for two months while Guelph pay about for months In Guelph sewer charges are on the property tax bills as tbey were in Halton until they were moved to the water bills a few years ago There alto a big population difference between Guelph and Hills Gordon noted but Whiting countered Guelph isnt larger than region Gordon also observed that repair and emergency response times are quicker in Guelph He suggested one reason water sewer costs are so high here is Guelph sends out one truck and two men on a repair call In Halton it always seems several trucks and eight or nine work are sent out Wages for unnecessarily big repair crews drive up the cost of water and sewer service Gordon ob served Whiting noted Halton will strike its new watersewer rates for 1984 soon Watersewer costs have been messed up in Halton almost since the start of regional government nearly years ago Customers today are pay Ing for mistakes In the past He noted the regions famous deficit of the late 70s included a shortfall in the watersewer accounts and we re still paying for the deficit He said lower than expected provincial grants when went to equalized watersewer rates cost forecast curacies and poor pUnnmg have also contributed to todays costly watersewer biDs Gordon said be know how much Guelph pay on their tax bills for sewer but be felt having sewer service on the tax bills was better than on water bills Whiting said sewer service is a user pay charge and that s why It was moved to the water bills He explained since water used for the lawn washing the car or filling the pool doesnt go in the sewers so people arent supposed to pay sewer on that part of their water consumption People pay sewer surcharge after they reach 10000 gallons used mark but Whiting acknowledged few water users ever reach that mark even people who fill their pools or water their lawns frequently in the summer So in effect people are paying sewer but for water that doesnt ever reach the sewers Water ans sewers should never have been taken away from the local level and given to the region Whiting explained that It people find their bills are too high they should be conserving water But that presents a new problem for the region By encouraging conservation when people do cut back on water consumption then sewer count revenues drop Thb causes the region budget problems and can produce del kits He said it was a CatchW situation The whole watersewer coit situation in Halton Is declarer He added there have been ta number of Inaccuracies In water billing too but they have generally been straightened once the problem is brought to the region a attention Dennis Devine gets six months in jail Dennis Devine has
