Some cite sewagre dangfer, but only two complaints received Despite concerfi by the North Ward and iBrooklin Commnunity Association about i t serlous sewage polution from septie tanks in Brooklfi, only two complaifits have been A CARI No mileago charge? 668-8000 opposite Brewers Retail I received in the past eight months, says an officiai ýof ithe Durham Region Health Unit. Dr. J. E. Watt, director of environmental health, report- ed last week that he had checked into the situation in Brooklin, following reports from residents that the ground has becomne saturated with raw sewage. 0f the two complàirlts received, one was flot legitimate, he says. "There could be problems there that, for one reason or another people are flot comn- plaining about", said Dr. Watt. "But 1 really think the whole thin*g has been vastly over- emphisised". Dr. Watt reported that there have been problemns with septie tanks in the subdivision northwest of Highways 7 and 1 2. "The soul in there isn't the best and 1 think there have been somne failures", he said. Dr. Watt also reported he had a health inspector take water samples frorn Lynde Creek, but they have not yet been analysed. Bill Manning, President of the North Ward and Brooklin IRENT1 Community- Association said recently that sewage was entering the creek and farmers downstream have complained the water is unfit for their livestock to drink. Hie said the residents are "6sitting on a 'powder keg" waiting for the extension of water' mains and sewers to Brooklin. North Ward Councillor Bob Carson bas joined Mr. Manning in expressing concern about the septic tanks. "People can't use their back- yards, basements are smelly and sewage flows into the river", he says. Councîllor Carson said there is even raw sewage in the creek in the spring. Hie expiains that saturated ground won't absorb any more sewage in somne places, and it pereolates out. Sump pumps pick it up from tile beds it up to the surface where it is a hazard for children, says Councillor Carson. Councillor Carson has dis- counted reports that rats.have been seen in Brooklin as a result of the sewage problern. He said he had checked a local hardware store and it was flot selling rat traps in any volume.- Also he said he had personallyheard no complaints about rats and considered themn to be an "isolated problem". Mayor Jim Ujartsflore says his counicil is flot going to be "stampeded" iînto rushing a decision on Brooklin develop- ment because of reports of severe water and sewage problemns.

While Mr. Manning and Councillor Carson are saying the septic tank situation in Brooklin is 'serlous, Dr. Watt says there are greater sewage problems in Sunderland, 25 miles north of Brooklin, and Sunderland bas a higher priority when it cornes to dealing with this problem. According to Dr. Watt, "there is a lot of misinforma- tion flyîng around" and the situation "-is blown out of perspective". 1- , ý 1, ý-v 7 1
