WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY MARCH 23, 1983, PAGE 5 Whitby gets second chance at sewers An unexpected $1S5 million surplus In the region's water and sewer budget means Whitby will have a second crack at getting a sewer pipe to Port Whitby included ln the 1983 budget. The surplus, which resulted from an in- crease in water use throughout the region, will be used to compiete projects that were earlier deferred due to lack of funds. Regional council voted last Wednesday to include four projects in the budget im- mediately,, and the review several others in September 1983. The Port Whitby projects is among those to be reviewed ln September. "There wilI have to be a surplus ini September for the project hi be ap- proved, " regional works Chairman Gerry Emm said foilowing the meeting. "And 1 arn ad- vised that will be the case." Two factors strongly favour the Port Whitby project, Emm says. First, the region wiII lose a $440,000 gover- nment grant if the project is not started this year. ,Secondiy, if the pipe isn't completed within the next few years, the regions will be forced to spend sPend $800o to update a Whitby plant which begins pumping water to Ajax and Pickering this July. "When that plant starts pumping water in three months there wili be a backwash situation that will cost the regions $8000O," Emm said. "If we don't.build the (Port Whitby) exten- sion, the region will have to spend the money to dlean up the back- wash." Emm called the backwash "filthy, yucky stuff"l that wil end up on Whitby's beaches unless sewer facilities in the Port are improved. WhitbYys regional representatives were obviousiy elated by the possibiity that the pipe will go ahead in 1983. The project was deferred by the region for the third year in a row one month ago. Two weeks later, Emm learned the region wiIl lose the $440,ooo goverrnent grant forever unless construc- tion begins this year. Since that time, Whit- by's three regional representatives have been working to convin- ce the region to include the project in this year's budget. "I feel a lot more op- timistic about the pipe being completed to Port Whitby than I ever have as a regionai coun- cillor, " Tom Edwards said last week. Emm said Whitby representatives cound have pushed hi have the Port Whitby pipe in- cluded in the current budget (along with four other regionai projects) immediately, but said he felt there is a better chance of having it ap- proved by waiting until September. "We cound have pushed for it to go today,"P Emm said. "But it probabiy would have failed."' This way, Whitby will have an opportunity to gather facts and figures about the project to present to coundil in September.
