The Region of Durham is not out of line with other municipalities despite major increases in water bills. That's the finding of a report presented to the fin- ance committee last week by Commissioner Jack Gartley, comparing the cost figures of small commercial business and large industry on fire lines in a number of municipalities. The department states that the region is competi- tive with other municipal- ities in attracting industry. The region's Director of Development Bob Nicol told a meeting of regional coun- cil two weeks ago that the . water bill increases had . caused an "intolerable furor" in the industrial sector. The loudest cry coming from the Canadian Manu- facturing Association and the Toronto industrial board. Mr. Nicol felt at that time the region had been placed in an '"'uncompetitive situ- ation" in drawing industry into our municipalities. The report concludes that "Durham is not our of line with other municipalities". The qugstion of '"'outrage- ous" water bills for fire protection systems (in some cases up 1,200 per cent) in business and commerce was raised by Coun. Clark Mason(Ajax) at the same . regional council meeting. He gave an example where a company would be better off paying insurance on a building without a sprinkler system than to pay the new 'water charges. 'The finance department's report however, addressed itself to fire insurance and the findings. were the oppos- ite to Coun. Mason's. The report gives two main reasons for recommending that all charges be raised through the rate structure: --the philosophy | that the user pays; i --that all the costs for the water system would be out in the open and raised. directly from the water system rather than being lumped in with all the other charges being raised from the mill rate. "The service charge and the fire line method were used in the region so that seasonal users would con- tinue to pay for the basic facility whether or not they are using the system," the report points out. . "The charges were not put on the consumption charge as is done in the Region of Peel because it is felt that certain users (such as laundromats) which may require the same type of fire protection as other users (say barbershops) would contribute dispropor- tionately," the report also " stated. : If regional council does not endorse the finance committee recommend- ation, that the service charge for fire protection "remains unchanged, the issue will have to go over to the 1977 regional council. This .is why committee members want more speci- fic examples fo illustrate to council members the user pay principal is the best method. Meanwhile, the due fate for payment of water bills, which pertain to fire protec- tion, have been deferred without penalty until the council has made a full * review of the system' PASSPORT PHOTOS 5 Minute Service Oshawa Camera Centre Oshawa Shopping Centre SPEAKERS: University of Guelph. of Guelph.
