The provincial government pays 75 percent, with the Grand Riv- er Conservation Authority pay- ing the other 25 percent. This letter amount is divided up with the city of Kitchener paying $20,000. Waterloo Township $500 and Waterloo the remainder. Ald. Harold Wagner questioned whether Mr. Bauer could guar- antee that this would be the last amount Waterloo would be faced A side from the 40,000 previ- ously approved by council, the Laurel Creek Dam and Conser- vation area will cost Waterloo a further $17,945.
