Utility owners W

explain rate hike

WOODLANDS ~~ UTILITIES
owners expected to be in hot
water at a May 31 public hearing
to explain a proposed 80 per cent
water rate increase.

But the meeting ended up being
a somewhat lukewarm affair.

About 30 people tumed out to
hear Woodlands representative
Donna Ziegler: explain why the
domestic water rate in Thorn-
heights _ should ‘be increased to

$18 A

The rate had been kept ‘at $10
since 1976'when' the water. sys-
tem was built,

But Ziegler noted that her hus-
band Tony Ziegler — the solc
owner and employec:of the ulility
— was paid no salary for at least
six years and In other years was
paid less than $10,000 when un-
expected expenses ate np Wood-
lands’ revenues.

If the rate is approved, 15 per
cent of money collected will be
placed in a trust fund for eventual
replaccment of system com-
ponents,

Residents
get break

AFFECTED HOMEOWNERS
have been given a break on the
cost of paving Clara Ave,

But it came in a roundabout
way.

Last month two of the three
residents whose — properties
abutted Clara told council the de-
veloper of the 24-lot Halton St
sub-division should pay part of
the cost of paving Clara.

That was because the paving
was necessary to overcome
anticipated dust problems from
traffic using Clara to reach Hat-
ton,

The paving was to be carried
out as a council-initiated local
improvement project (LIP).

Under the rules for council-
initiated LIPs, the project fails if
the owners of properlies making
up more than half the frontage
and more than half the assessed
value of those” properties vote
against it,

Therefore il appeared the Clara
LIP was unlikely to succeed.

However, tlie Municipal - Act
permits. cosis for. LIPs to: be
passed on to both: the owners of
properties abutting the road and
those benefiling from the project,

Therefore, engineering director
Stew Christensen explained, two
Hation St. fols. which. abutted
Clara had been added into lhe LIP
and the propertics assessed on a
per lot basis rather than frontage,

As a result, Bench Develop-
ments would have to pay $7,200
towards the $20,700 cost.

The company having agreed to
that proposal, the LIP passed with
unanimous support. . -

Christensen said it’s the first
time the cily has handled ar Li
in this way.”

The utility has such a trust fund
— as required by the province —
but has had no surplus money to
deposit into it since the sysicm
was built.

About. $60,000 must be placed
into the trust fund to clear the ac-
cumulated deficit before the utili-

Representatives of residents Sto 13

took the opportunity to air a

‘series of objections to water qual-
ity and service.

Unexpected loss of waler in
some areas has only happened

during ‘accidents and fires,
Ziegler explained.
Another priority is, when

finances permit, a complete fush-
ing of the system and cleaning of

the reservoir, Ziegler said.

The rate increase, if approved,
will be retroactive to March 31.

Deputy Comptroller of Water
Righis Jack Farrell said it will
likely be several weeks before a
decision is made on whether to
allow the rate increase.
