Come In For Your Special Deal On Quality Canadian General Electric Appliances It covers many areas of financial and general conâ€" cern within the Regional structure. The report: also discusses problems _ and solutions. One of the most interestâ€" ing is the waste manage ment problem. According to Chairman Young, the Reâ€" gion handles about a milâ€" lion tons of waste per year. Yet, only about 15 per cent of this is residential waste. The remainder is industrial and commercial waste. Regional taxpayers have been paying taxes for all waste disposal in the Reâ€" gion up until now â€" even though industry and comâ€" Water rates in the Region increased once in 1975, from 15 cents to 20 cents per 1,000 gallons. The reaâ€" son for the increase was beâ€" cause the previous wholeâ€" sale water rate was not sufâ€" ficient to cover the rising cost of operations and mainâ€" tenance. Fortunately, the site disâ€" covered led to drilling of a producing well in 1976. The purpose of the test sites was to determine the availability of groundwater to supply the municipalities of Elora and St. Jacobs with water necessary to meet future demands. The program was unsuccessful, with only one location disâ€" covered near an existing well in Elmira. One example of this was the unsuccessful groundâ€" water exploration program conducted in 1975. In that year International Water Supply was commissioned by the Region to test drill at seven locations in Woolâ€" wich Township. ‘‘Part of the problem is caused by the ministry of environment‘s stringent reâ€" quirements regarding the placement and operation of landfill sites. And of course â€" no one wants one too close to where they live," he said. Another problem discussed in the report, is water use and conservation in the Region. In discussing the problem, the report indicates that although the Region is makâ€" ing headway in some areas, it is having many problems in others. Another problem _ here has been acquisition of saniâ€" tary landfill sites. Accordâ€" ing to the chairman this problem is caused by a number of factors. Mr. Young says there will be no cash handled at the landfill site, but the finance department will sell adâ€" vance preâ€"paid tickets. charge. At rural landfill sites where no measuring scale is available, a chargâ€" ing system based on the weight of the garbage truck will be adopted. Thisgystem will involve everyone using the landfill site except personal cars and horseâ€" drawn vehicles.
