pay to the ministry within 60 days thesumof 8031269 to be i held in trust to pay for damages to existing water supplies the mayor termed the fund entirely inadequate and rather vague- senior- environmental officer paul isles said the fund was for the amount of money that the- ministry estimates would be required to provide an alternate water supply to the 15 landowners adjacent to the dump mr isles said if anything major happened to the town water because of the dump then the ministry would likely pay to correct the situation and then take action against york to recover the money mr
