* Waterloo Chronicle ~ City men urge _ water inquiry George â€" Priddle, geography professor at the University of Waterloo, and Brian Turnbull, planning consultant and former planning director for Waterloo, claim a public inquiry is essenâ€" tial into the possibility of the midâ€"Grand _ region _ continuing to use existing water supply reâ€" sources. The Waterloo men feel that all the organizations named must actually carry out the study, rather than make submissions to some other agency. The men feel the inquiry should be carried out jointly by the Onâ€" tario Water Resources Comâ€" mission, the Grand River Conâ€" servation Authority and the Cities of _ Galt, Guelph, â€" Kitchener, Waterloo and Brantford. This is one of two recommendaâ€" tions in a study which they comâ€" pleted recently on the subject. They argue that existing reâ€" ports on water sources for the area leave three major questions unanswered. The studies have not dealt adequately with ground water reserves nor have they shown why the OWRC, while stressing the importance of a regional approach, is attempting a nonâ€" regional approach itself . These have not provided real comparative costs between the present water supply system, a system with a pipeline to Lake Erie, or one with a pipeline to Lake Huron. The â€" Priddleâ€"Turnbull _ study admits there is slight prospect that their recommended public inquiry could design a scheme by which a pipeline could be avoided. In view of that it suggests work begin immediately planning, deâ€" signing and acquiring property for a pipeline to Lake Huron. Arguments put forward for Lake Huron over Lake Erie are that people of the area involved have indicated a preference for Lake Huron water; that water from this lake is of better quality than Erie water and that there is less likelihood of disasters, such as oil leaks. occurring on Lake Huron. IT‘S$ OPENâ€"A large crowd attended Cedarbrae public school‘s official opening last week. The 10â€"room school. open for classes since the beginning of the year. has alâ€" ready outgrown itself. Two portable classrooms had to be added this September and anâ€" other will be added shortly to accommodate 406 pupils. John Darling. chairman of Watâ€" erloo County board of education, officially opened the $700,000 building. ~Discussing _ the _ possibility that a Lake Huron pipeline will be more costly (One report puts the cost at 14 percent above a Lake Erie pipeline), the Priddleâ€" Turnbull report notes: ‘‘*We feel that the people in the region would be willing to pay a 15 to 20 percent differential in order to have Lake Huron water." C It also suggests that cost figures have so far been neither well explained nor documented. The cost will be shared by Onâ€" tario Hydro and the provincial government. Provincial Treasurer Charles MacNaughton told the legislaâ€" ture‘s estimates committee last week that the Lake Erie pipeline intake at Nanticoke will be enâ€" larged at no cost to Kitchenerâ€" Waterloo or other municipaliâ€" ties on the Grand River. This means that municipalities in the Grand River area will have access to the intake if they opt for Lake Erie as a water source. It has not been determined if construction costs will be assessâ€" ed against municipalities which decide to use Erie water. According to an OWRC spokesâ€" man, the government action will give area municipalities anâ€" other three years to decide on a future water supply. Earlier this year they were given a threeâ€"month deadline since the Nanticoke intake now under construction had to be built to accommodate future needs. Area â€" municipalities rejected the proposal and the OW RC then asked the treasury board to fiâ€" pance the project.
