Public views sought on Thornhill sewer plans © HARD ON the heels of the - official opening of . the Queensway sewer system, Thormhifl residents are about to be asked, “where next??? Eric Wiens of consultants Stanley Associates said. a : questionnaire will be sent * outin the acxt week or so. It will ask residents about: the condition. of their exist- ing septic systems and al- tempt to gauge the level of their support for the various options for the next phase. Based on public support, Wiens said priorities for fur- ther sewer, system dévelop- ment in the community would be worked into the next draft of the sewer masterplan. That should be ready in twa months and would be taken to a public meeting. He anticipated the final ver- sion of the plan would be completed about a month after that meeting. Wiens said the plan will obviously look at existing sewer problems in the com- munity, what will be needed in the long term and how best to address those needs. Another issue to be tack- led was: how to deal with © new developments in Thornhill. However, it will also lean heavily inthe direction of most public support since it made little sense to propose something the: public was likely to reject at referendum. During, official- opening ceremonies for the Queens- way system, ‘Wiens pointed out it had been a long time coming. In fact, his compa- ny had carried out the first Thornhill sewer study 20 years ago. He also noted the STEP (septic tank effluent pump- ing) system being used here was the * largest - non- conventional, | system operat- ing in the province. One of the. virtues of the © system, he explained, was it used ihe ‘‘simple. technol- ogy’? of lagoons which resulted in a consistent, high quality effluent. Another plus was the 300 metres of sands and gravels it drained through before reaching the river. These provided a* very effective final filtration. And the discharge was ultimately spread. over hundreds of metres of river bank rather than the single outfall point of most sys- tems. Recalling the expression “No pain, no gain’’, Thom- hill’s regional district direc- tor Peggy Julscth conceded that with this project, ‘““We_ certainly had the pain.” . She also acknowledged the contribution of her. predecessor Les Watmough who had been involved in a lot of the planning of the project and taken it to referendum, as well as the co-operation of residents who had given up right of ways for the system. “Hopefully this is the first Step for more sewer projects. for Thorhill,’’ she added, AGON Since 1930 Your Welcome Wagon Hostesses for Terrace, B.C. are: Elaine 635-3018 Joan 635-2928 Francine 635-2688 Nella 635-1605 Gillian. 635-3044 if you have moved to.
