No sooner had developers caught a glimpse of the light at the end of the dvelopment tunnel with the Region's search for water, when the provincial environment ministry announced that the assimilative capacity of the Nonquon River is insuffic- ient to provide for sewage treatment at even the pre- sent level of population. The ministry's position appears to have moderated somewhat, allowing the lim- ited immediate growth of Port Perry to 4,000 providing adequate phosphate removal is provided. But before development is allowed to go over the 4,000 level, the ministry wants extensive improvements of the pollution control system. The firm of Totten Sims Hubicki Associates was given the assignment to design an expansion on the existing water pollution control plant for a population of 7,000 and the firm's subse- PORT TAVERN now serving smorgasbord SERVED: Monday to Friday 12:00 noon to 2:00 p.m. quent report ..recommends the enlargement of the Water Street Pumping Stat- ion and expansion of the Nonquon River Water Pollut- ion Control Plant to treat flows from 7,000 persons at a total estimated cost of $1,067,000. The expanded treatment facilities would include the construction of an aerated cell, settling tank and one additional lagoon cell. The firm also recommends that the existing forcemain between the Water Street Pumping Station and the Nonquon River Water Pollut- ion Control Plant be replaced at a total estimated cost of $351,000. The works department report recommendations for the phasing of Port Perry development are subject to five conditions, the first being the availability of ade- quate water supply. The 1976 capital budget provides for the construction of a new watermain on Ontario Street from the new well to Highway 7A and for the construction of a pump- house at the new well. 2.95 UN "The design of the water- main is completed -and a contract can be called for the construction of the water- main in the very near future," the report states. Now that the capacity of the well is known, design can be completed for the pump- house and appurtenances and a contract can be called for the pumphouse in the near future. "Therefore," concludes the report, 'this condition (adequate water) can be considered to have been satisfied." Other conditions include: Approval from the Minis- try of the Environment for development control pro- gram. Now that problems associated yith water supply and sewage treatment have largely been solved, a devel- LE] opment control program will be submitted to the Ministry of the Environment in the near future. It is not antici- pated that any difficulty will be encountered in obtaining the Ministry's approval; Developers agree to pay the cost for the necessary servicing, which exceed the development levies received from the developers, and that these differences be based on actual cost, not -eéstimated cost. When this recommendation was made, the cost of con- struction of sanitary sewer and waterworks facilities was based on a charge-back to the area municipality. . Now that the Region is on a uniform rate, it is recom- mended that this require- ment be removed and that the cost of construction of the HARDWARE - & : HOME FURNISHINGS 175 QUEEN ST. - PORT PERRY 985-2211 32 FD Le) HOME FURNISHING All Two Piece Chesterfield Suites KROEHLER "Cape Cod" Colonial Sofa & Chair Reg.
