He also points out that the town is anxious to get on with other work in Brooklin such as road reconstruction and repair and other much needed projects. The town'may also want to file for an Ontario Neighbou rhood Im- provement Program (O.N.I.P.) grant for*the hamlet later this year as well. Batten says that im- proving services to Brooklin could ha han- dled more effectively if ail of these issues were handled at the same time. Batten says Brooklin may be eigible for government grants to build sewer system ONITBY FRE PRES TO N EY. AR 7 98.PG ANDA :s PETERYLCENME PA.NTJO FOROILY$39 n I According to North Ward Coun. Ross Bat- ten, the M.O.E. announ- ced late Iast year that small commurnties suf- fering from water and sewerage disposai problems could be eligible for government grants to help correct them. Batten believes that the provincial gover- nment might be willing to fund as much as 50 or 60 per cent of the cost of extending the sanitary sewer system to Brooklin. While he admîits that sanitary sewers are a regional jurisdication, he believes that it is im- portant that the town initiate the study and seek the grants, even if the town ends up paying a portion of the money to build the sewer. According to a report prepared several years ago when the now defunct Brooklin expan- sion project was being considered by Durham Regional Councîl, senior regional staff estimated that extending the water supply and sanitary sewer system to Brooklin would cost ap- proximately $8.1 million. Batten says that the prîce is probably $10 million now. One of the reasons the North Ward represen- tative wants staff to act quickly on this matter is that not only does the application for the grant have to be in before November but the town doesn't know how much money it will receive.
