Of the total length of 9,710 feet 4,720 feet will be constructed in tunâ€" nel and 4,990 feet in open cut.. With regard to the sanitary sewers I bring your attention to the fact that this work has been divided into six areas which I shall now cutline to you: This is an area comprising about 547 acres and extending from the height of land just west of Avenue Road approxiâ€" mately as far as Bathurst St. A piece of land about 76 acres in extent, just south of No. 401 Highway and west of Bathurst St. should be included in this area. This area will be served by four main sewers whose size and lengths are as follows: 21 inch diameter ... 2,960 feet 18 inch diameter ... 3,300 feet 15 inch diameter ... 5,150 feet 12 inch diameter ... 5,750 feet Total length This is an area comprising about 280 acres which can best be drained to the trunk sewer at Castlewood Road and Castleâ€" field Ave. This area lies beâ€" tween Bathurst Street and Dufâ€" ferin Street and is west and south of the land which can be served to the existing sewerage system around Lawrence Ave. and Bathurst St. This area will be served by seven main sewers whose size and lengths are as follows: 30 inch diameter ... 2,230 feet 27 inch diameter ... 2,975 feet 24 inch diameter ... 6,925 feet 21 inch diameter ... 1,550 feet 15 inch diameter ... 4,120 feet 12 inch diameter ... 1800 feet 12 inch diameter ... 600 feet Total length Area "C" This is an area comprising]an area basis to a township about 584 acres and is located | basis, If this township proceeds for the most part just east of| to grow in the future at its preâ€" Dufferin Street and south of| sent rate, and there appears to Ranee Ave. There is also in-&be no.early curtailment in sight, cluded a small section between‘ it is such vast schemes. such as Highway 401 and Wilson Ave.| this one we are being asked to and east of Dufferin St. This|approve this evening that will area will be served by five| turn this township into a city main sewers whose size and and will be the means of proâ€" lengths are as follows: Ividing it‘s future citizens with 24 inch diameter ... 1,900 ieet\all the amenitics of city living at 21 inch diameter ... 1,000 feet| a cost quite within the ability of 18 inch diameter ... 1,710 feet| all to pay when it is assessed 15 inch diameter ... 8350 feet | over the whole township." 12 inch diameter ... 650 feetl Finince Commissioner F.

The sewâ€" er from the pumping station to Roe Ave would be 15 inches in diameter, the length about 750 Area "E" ‘ A limited number of houses between Avenue Rd. and Grey Rd. from Melrose Ave. south to Woburn Ave. cannot very well be drained to sewers on cither Avenue Rd. or Grey Rd. and so it is recommended that a small length of sewer be constructed along the valley. ryaning northâ€" westerly from Avenue Rd. to Woburn Ave. at least to Fairâ€" lanw Ave. This sewer will be 12 inches in diameter and about 1,350 feet in length. It will disâ€" charge to the Woburn Ave. pumping station. Area "F" The subdivision north of Wilâ€" son Ave. are served with sewers as far west as Wilkie Boulevard. A sewer is constructed along the lane north of Wilson Ave, from Wilkie Boulevard to Bathurst Street and a sewer is constructâ€" ed along Westgate Boulevard EV mimg ssm from â€" Bathurst Street to the Glendale Ave. sewage treatment plant. To serve the property between Wilson Ave and Highâ€" way No. 401 westerly from Dathuret Street to about Chanâ€" way No. 401 westerly ‘TOM Bathurst Street to about Chanâ€" plain @ve. and also to serve the property north of Wilson Ave. and west of Wilkie Bouleâ€" vard, a sewer can be constructâ€" ed along Wilson Ave. from Bathurst Street westerly about to Wilson Heights Boulevard and on Bathurst Street from Wilson Ave. to Westgate Bouleâ€" vard. The area which may be drained to this sewer includes\ 253 acres. The sewer on Bathâ€" urst Street and on Wilson Ave. as far as Wilkie Boulevard should be 18 Inches in diameter and from Wilkie Boulevard 10 Wilson â€" Heights Boulevard it may be 15 inches in diameter. ‘There would be 3,820 feet of 18 inch sewer and 2,040 feet of 15 inch sewer.
