"I-hate to have to tell you this,"' answered Reeve Kenny;-*'but there is nothing Council can do. I would have to say it will be two years."

This increase in the load -caused the disruptions in the Port Perry service. _ Because of the disruptions, Mr. Mabley said the Com- mission received about 20 calls during the night. Most roads in the area were blocked at one time or another by. drifting snow before work crews could clear them. Ontario County 'Road '1-A" between Man- chester and Prince Albert was blocked Friday af- ternoon with drifts foanly a foot deep in places. Highway 12 south of 'Manchester was also blocked for a time. Mr. T.

" After the heavy snowfall and high winds last week, the Department made a check of hydrants in the Village, and found some to be partly or completely covered with plowed snow. The Depart- ment says it would be to the _ advantage of all citizens to keep the hydrants clear of _ piled-up Snow. hi PY Reach, Scugog Councils 'mot happy with $15. fee The Townships of Reach and. Scugog are going to 'approach Port Perry Council over a $15 fee set by Village Council for the discharging of sewage holding tanks into the Port Perry sewage treatment plant. Both Township Councils have indicated that they feel the $15 fee is too high. Mr. V. Malcolm, Reach Clerk-Treasurer said that "the fee has been discussed at Council, and he has in- structions to ask Port Perry for a meeting with regards to the fee. - INGE Finalists in the public speaking contest for Reach - Port' Perry elementary schools.

Heather Darnley (second from right) Epsom. Murray will compete in Zone 4 play-offs in Oshawa on Wednes- day of this week. Mrs. Grace Love, Scugog Deputy-Reeve also said the fee has been discussed in Council. She said the $15 fee, coupled with a $25 haulage fee means that residents would be paying a total of $40 for the dumping of holding tanks. And she added that at certain times of the year, smaller tanks have to be dumped once a month. _Mr..Malcolm said the high fee might discourage people from dumping into the tréatment plant, and instead would have their tanks dumped onto a farmer's field. Port Perry Council set the $15 fee December 28, after -receiving guidelines from Ontario Water Resources Commission ~ regarding the discharging of holding tanks into sewage system. OWRC suggested that the fee "'be in the neighbourhood of $2.00" for a tank of 2,000 gallons or less, and slightly more for larger tanks. Council justified the $15 fee since extra work will be required of the Village Clerk in dealing with the OWRC plant operator, and those involved in the hauling of holding tank waste. It was. suggested by OWRC that the plant operator supervise the dumping, collect the fee from the hauler and deposit it with the Village Clerk. OWRC also suggested: that in setting the fee, the Village should take into con- sideration the plant operator's time with regards to supervising dumping and collecting fees. PRE a J SARS AA
