Photo by Janelte De,;tusa' Residents request municipal water A petition has been receiv- ed by the Town of Newcastle council asking for an exten- sion of a Regional water main to serv ice properties north of the Village of Newcastle on the Regional road a distance of '1200 feet. The petition re- quests water service north fromn the Stubbington farmn to the Talisman Fiee Market. In speaking in support of the petition Arlene Bonsma said one hundred percent of the people had signed the petition and were agreement to the charges for frontage and connection to the extend- ed municipal system. Although charges are not finial the cost would bc in the neighbourhood of $4,000.00 iii a cash payment for lots of 10 Mfeet. Mrs. Bonsma stated tlîat the private wells could flot be used due the high content of sait and that many residents wecre bringing water into their homes from other sources. She said the Ministry of the, enviromnent had been involv- ed in testing the water over the past two years and she presented counicil with the most recent results. She also said she was aware of the lengthy process in ob- taining the service throu gh, the municipal system. The Region of Durham noted two possible problems being low water pressure in the 'Newcastle system at the north end of the systemn and also noted that the extension would require an Official Plan amendment. The Region stated it would possibly require a booster pump ing system to eleviate the pressure problemn andI that the Region had not been con- sidering such a pruject nor had they established any' price as to the pumping systeml. The petitioni did receive the support of council.
