Possible population of' 14,000 RR TR 0 PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, July 23, 1975 -- 27 Discuss future water and sewage plans for Port Perry area Last week's major events in the Port Perry yh concerned this communities search for water needed to reinitiate both industrial and residential growth. While region's drilling operations have come up with a promis- ing site for a third well, Scugog and regional officials are talking about programs that would supply water and sewage for an area popula- tion of 14,000. A three- -phase plan for preparing the Port Perry- Prince Albert sewage and water systems was discuss- ed by Scugog Council and the region's public works com- ov mn . - . . - - - - - - . mittee last--a plan Scugog Mayor Lawrence Malcolm calls "very iffy." The first and second phase would include subdivi- sion plans already proposed for the area and would add 4,017 people and 66.1 acres of industrial development to After 223 feet of drilling at a spot some 500 feet south of the existing two wells that supply Port Perry with water, International Water Supply has struck water. According to IWS site foreman Bob MacGee, the strike is the first worthwhile one in the eight holes drilled in the Durham Region's search for water here. According to Mr. MacGee, water pressure is about 45 gallons per minute. A larger pipe will be installed in a new hole farther in from the road, however, and tests will be conducted to not only see if there is enough pressure, but also to see if pumping water from the new lowers the pressure in the existing two wells. The new hole is some 100 feet below the existing wells.

The third phase, how- ever would bring the sys- tems capabilities up to the point where another 5,556 people could be serviced. Mayor Malcolm points out that such a project would depend on whether the Non- quon River is capable of handling the additional load from the sewage lagoons, if enough water is found, and even if the people of Port Perry agree that the com- munity should grow to this size. Development of the plan would cost about $355,000 at today's prices, and the region's works department has already indicated that lot levies in the Port Perry area may go up by over $1,000. Such a special levy for Port Perry would cover the cost of the extension and improvement costs to the water and sewage systems, the region calculates. Lot levies now are $1,200. to the region and $1,000. to the township. Mayor Mal- colm told the Star that al- though the resulting lot levy would be higher than most, it would still be well below others. "I don't think it would deter anyone from building here once given the green light," he said. The plan calls for four separate water sources feed- ing into one tower and distri- buted through an expanded and improved system. At the moment the area is served by two wells drawing from the same water source, with the second well a stand-by. Regional consultants are now studying the Nonquon River in an effort to find out if the river can handle the additional lagoon water without damaging the envir- onment. Asked about the desir- ability of preparing for a population of 14,000 regional works commissioner Bob Richardson declined . to answer, saying only that his staff was concerned only with engineering. and en- vironmental possibilities. He said his department would not think of commen- ting on opinions regarding population desirabilities. They are matters for the planning and development committee of the region. Phase one of the plan would provide enough ser- vices to accommodate 28 houses proposed by Vindi- cator, 86 houses proposed by Bertan Developments, 47 houses proposed by Van- edward-Kight, 22 houses proposed by Nottingham, 102 houses and 21.5 acres or industrial proposed by Van- edward Rennick, 20 acres or industry proposed by Athica- Investments, 75 houses pro- posed by Carlan, plus 30 infilling houses. Phase two would provide for 11 houses proposed by Fail Construction, 176 houses and 11.2 acres of industry proposed by Carlan Enter- prises, the 32 home Grumble Hill development, 101 homes in the proposed High Chap- paral subdivisions, 126 houses and 13.4 acres of industry by Athica Enter- prises plus 70 infilling lots.
