. _ Water scheme approved

A Thornhill subdivision proposal.

received a mixed reaction from the
Kitimat-Stikine Regional District
board of directors last month, but
the question of who. will provide
water to the subdivsion has now

been settled. The main concern for .

the board had been the fact that

the property was within the.

regional district water service area,
but according to property owner
Fred Eichhorst it could more easily
be served by Woodlands Utilities,
a privately owned Thornhill water
supplier.

The regional district. now has a
report from the Vancouver engin-

eering company, Stanley Associa-

tes, however, and it appears that
Fichhorst was right. The Stanley

‘Associates recommendation states
that land in the Thornhill bench |

area should be served by an
expanded Woodlands. Utilities
system rather than the tegional
district.

The report states. that this is the
most economical solution’ and
. would mean that the entire bench |

area would be served by ‘Wood-

lands: Utilities while the lowlands |

would be served by the regional

notes that the two systems.could |-

be integrated sometime in the

future at a minimal cost if agreed

to by both parties.
