The Ministry of Environment has allotted Schreiber $2.046 mil- lion for 1990-91 allocations. The remaining 22% of the cost will be split between the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines and the Township of Schreiber. The existing plant, in opera- tions since 1976, is capable of handling 130,000 gallons of sewage a day. An increase of flow over the years has brought the town's daily-sewage to'around 200,000 gallons, which exceeds the capacity of the plant. In the town of Schreiber, too much water flows, causing a hydraulic water overload. Schreiber residents are quite free with their water because there are no meters to measure the amounts used. Installing meters and man- power to read the meters would be too expensive. Anything over the 130,000 gallon amount isn't decomposed properly, resulting in the Township having to haul sewage build-up to drying beds for decomposure - a process that is very expensive. The Ministry of Environment, who recognized the problem, went after grant funding and came up with the proposal. Peter Doig, who didn't want to use excessive amoonts of chemi- cals, realized that doubling the capacity of the plant would solve the problem of overloading. "The new plant will be able to handle around 300,000 gallons of sewage in a 24 hour period but the final capacity won't be known until the final drawings are received." The tenders close May 31 for contractors. They will be reviewed by the consulting engi- neer who will make the decision on the best contractor to hire for of Schreiber oe Plant eqin about mid-Jul the job. After the contract is awarded, in about mid-June, it will proba- bly take the contractor about a. month or so to prepare, making the construction date somewhere around mid-July. New and improved ambulance By Angie Saunders The News North Shore Ambulance Services Ltd. in Schreiber received a new 4x4 modular multi-patient ambulance on Thursday, May 17th. The 1989 one-ton Chevy Cheyenne replaces the older 4x4' suburban that had room for only one patient and one attendant.

The cot stretchers are available with straps so patients can-be secured. This modular ambulance is a Shown is the new 4 x 4 ambulance which arrived in Schreiber on Thursday, May 17th.

The vehicle is completely air- conditioned. The patient com- partment also has equipment including a trauma kit, splints, blankets, resuscitators, and a fire extinguisher to mention a few things. A lifeline box, in a combina- tion safe, the number which is known only to the 10 ambulance drivers, is located at the front of the rear compartment.
