A suggestion .from_ the
eingineering firm now carrying
out installation of the new sewer
program that Sidney could save
money. by: installing all storm
drains now caused Jengthy
debate on Monday.

Mayor. Stan Dear referred to a
letter from Willis, Cunliffe & Tait
in which the engineers propose
that the town borrow sufficient
funds to complete all sewer work
this year, rather than spread:
storm drain installation out over
the next 10 years.

The town is-committed in its
agreement with the Pollution
Control. Board, to. remove. all
storm water from the new sewer
system within the 10 year period.

Willis, Cunliffe &. Tait. have
pointed out that immediate storm
drain . installation. would
eliminate the necessity for

special pumps-in the treatment’

plant. Cost of the pumps plus the
inflation factor in construction
should. be considered, they

suggest.

: “sceptical. of the. idea. it. was.
unlikely, he felt, that such a
‘scheme could be completed in

less than three years. and the
public would ‘require much
education before it was sold on
the matter.

“A strong Council is needed”
emphasized © Mayor - Dear,
commenting that the problem of
storm drains had been avoided in

COUNCIL DEBATES

DRAIN

Legislation was enacted last
year to ensure that ail
homeowners -connect. with the
storm drains when they are in-
stalled. Some-testing of each
individual home will be carried
out.to check that this is done.

“IT am not sold on the idea that
the whole thing has to goin, carte
blanche, atthe same time,”
declared Robinson.

“Twill sell out and leave Sidney
if we go for another million dollar
project on top of present sewer
scheme’ threatened “Gardner.

_ Ald. Robinson re-iterated that
the public might not accept such
a plan graciously. ‘“Many have no
conception of the problem, we
must make it easy on the tax-
payers pocket book.’’:

“That is.exactly what we are
talking . about” remarked the
Mayor..He explained that. loan
repayment will be born by the
taxpayers on the same system
over a period of years whether
Council. carries’ out’ drain in-
stallation all at once or does it in
‘chunks.
