6-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, October 8th, 1980 $6 million management cost Town council on Monday afternoon were presented with the, $43,000 Courtice Storm Water Management study undertaken for the Town by the Engineering firm of Totten, Sims, Hubicki. Council was conducted through the report and referred referred it to staff for a report. It was pointed out during the discussions that the cost of development in Courtice would be considerably greater greater than in most other areas due to the fact of the high water table and the headwater headwater area. Development of the area will require trunk storm sewer lines as well as retention ponds and a continual continual maintenance of the storm water management scheme. 1 The engineers have recommended recommended one of four proposals with an estimated cost of $6,617,000. This cost does not include property costs, legal fees, financing charges nor maintenance and operating costs, the latter to be borne by the Town. It was also pointed out to coiincil that the Conservation Authority would not be involved in mainten ance of the ponds nor the green belt areas. Many of the features of the storm water management study were taken into consideration consideration by a former study for the Murray Jones study which was handed to council in the early proposals of development of Courtice. It is recommended in the study that storm water projects projects be undertaken prior to development of specific areas. It is understood that Courtice Courtice Heights development can proceed only following the completion of a storm water project which will cost in the neighbourhood of $600,000. Following the meeting Counc. Cowman stated that it was an hour and a half of depression. Counc. Barr said the information should have been available before and understood that the Murray Jones report did, in fact, carry some of the information. information. He said if he had known this his response to the Courtice development could have been different. Ministry encouraging passive solar heating The Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Housing are co-operating in a program to encourage the construction of passive solar heated and solar heated housing. Recently, Recently, the Ministry of Energy awarded contracts to 14 Ontario builders to construct, 'energy-efficient housing incorporating incorporating passive solar heating features. 'Passive solar energy houses houses are buildings designed to take advantage of the sun's heat by restricting windows to southern exposures, and employing other architectural architectural devices to ensure .that less energy is required to heat or cool the house, in comparison with average structures. Solar heated buildings involve involve the architectural devices devices used in passively heated homes as well as additional equipment to convert the sun's rays into a practical energy source. Panels are built onto the roof and by using either photoelectric cells or circulating water make practical use of simple sun shine. One of the more exciting projects involving both En r ergy and Housing is the recently completed senior citizen residence in Alymer, Elgin County. This complex is Canada's first solar heated apartment building. The building captures energy energy from the sun with solar panels on the roof and transfers this energy to water, circulating through the panels in special pipes. This water is stored underground underground in an insulated, reinforced reinforced concrete tank and can provide enough energy to warm the building in winter and cool it in summer. To make this building as Is fitness Important? Ask any body. «8 xnanm* efficient as , possible, extra heavy insulatiqn has been installed to reduce heat-loss, and a back-up electrical heating system is provided in case of a breakdown or maintenance checks. Although hot water for domestic use is at a much higher temperature than the water stored in the underground underground tank, the solar heated water is used to supplement electrical water heaters. Throughout Ontario the Davis Government has over 250 projects underway involving involving either energy conservation conservation or the development of alternative sources. But, alternative energy is only part of our energy futures. At present the technology technology does not exist to allow any industrial economy $o rely on alternative energies alone. Until our 1 knowledge of energy sciences increases, we will need to exploit a wide range of power sources. One of these sources will be nuclear power since it is a proven generator of safe, clean and abundant electric-: ity- A combination of nuclèar and alternative energies will ensure that for the forseeable future, Ontario will never be short of electrical power. One area where the development development of alternative fuel sources is becoming increasingly increasingly important is on the farm, 'Anticipating this demand demand for cheap, abundant fuel, the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food has established an incentive program program to assist farmers with the installation of ethanol stills and the expérimental use of alcohol as a fuel. Projects approved under this program are eligible for a 40 percent capital cost grant. Information and details on how to apply forthis program are available from the local Agriculture* and Food representative representative in Bowmanville. On another subject, I'd like to announce that by Sept-, ember 30th my constituency office in Bowmanville will be equipped with a Zenith number. number. This means that callers from outside Bowmanville area can call my office without paying long distance charges. To make a call to my office all you need do is dial the operator and ask for Zenith 13140. You cannot dial a Zenith number on your own. I.welcome all residents of Durham East to take advantage advantage of the Zenith number and keep in touch with my office about problems and concerns they may have with the Ontario Government. I was very pleased to attend the 50th anniversary of Branch 78 Royal Canadian Legion, Bowmanville, and congratulations to President Doug Walton and all Of the Legion members. I was also pleased to attend the second Durham Organization Organization for Industrial Training conference and it was most rewarding to meet again with the Chairman, Harry Tresise.
