The extension, wbich. bas been on hold since 1979, would extend the present sewer system from Pringle Creek to Corbett Creek and, would alleviate basement flooding problems which ,Ihave been reported mi Port Whitby. Members of Council -are hurrying efforts to put the proposai through because the projeet must be' substantially completed by' March 1985 in order-to qualify for-a 'federal ,gover- nment grant. This $441,000 grant would corne from the Great Lakes- Basin F'und, which was established to dlean up the Great Laktes. The decision may be made today at the Regional' Council meeting. SAccording to Regional Councillor and, Works Chairman Gerry Emm, acceptance of the proposai would allow the region to live up to promises it made i 1978 when an $8 million water treatmient- plant was bufit.' .The extended sewer lines wil fulfill the second phase of the 1978 agreement. "It allows us to treat the water at the purn- ping station, " said Emîn. "It will also prevent backflushing (where the waste water goes back into the lake)." .Emrn says Town Coundil is unamimously i support of this project gomng ahead this winter. This project along with a new CN rail bridge and the GO rail Uine could lead W a housing revolution in Port Whitby, according toEmm.kw PAGES
