Tn EET yy LT EE YORE -- "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" 2 - PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, October 19,1993 Using the results of a year-long study, the Region of Durham has chosen to upgrade and ex- pand a sewage treatment facility just north of Port Perry. This will allow the community to ex- pand its population base. Gabe Oliver, manager of the Utilities and Projects Division with the Works Department, made the See story. presentation during an open house in Port Perry on October 14. Region will upgrade and expand local sewage treatment facility From page 1 level of phosphates which can be handled by the Nonquon Riv- er, the receiving source from the plant. Under the option chosen, the existing lagoons will be utilized and adapted. A tertiary treat- ment stage will be added as well. "he most desirable option was to build a mechanical plant to handle the outflow, but a year-round water source is re- quired. The Nonquon's water level is low during the summer months. A mechanical plant was ex- pected to cost $8 million to $12 million. The study examined five al- ternatives for the project includ- ing: 5: MATTHEW JONES - age 8 -expansion of the lagoons on theexisting site or anew site. -providing a new treatment plant on a new or existing site. -conveying sewage to another system. - limiting community growth. -doing nothing. Representatives from both the region and the engineering firm presented the findings to the community last week. The - meeting also sought feedback from the communit Mr. Wong said the informa- tion gathered will be compiled and used in other phases of the study. "What we hear from the pub- lic will decide what we do on the project," he said. The next step of the project (phase 3) will examine alterna- tive design concepts of imple- menting the preferred planning solution, select the preferred de- sign concept based upon the ex- isting environment, and public and agency input. Although the capacity will not be reached for another two years, Mr. Wong said it was nec- essary to begin the project now to avoid being caught off guard. "We'd like to have a plan when we need it. We're proac- tive, not reactive." : Scugog Mayor Howard Hall said he was pleased with the re- sults of the project, noting that it was a positive step for the township. Mayor Hall said it would pave the way for future development allowing another 2,000 to 3,000 people to settle in the area.

"It's a little disheartening. I want it to be a friendly and hon- est campaign. We shouldn't re- sort to those tactics," she said. Despite the problems the oth- er candidates have experienced, Reform Party hopeful Ian Smyth said he has not had too many problems in the Scugog area. But he has experienced prob- lems in Newcastle recently, where a number of signs from all parties were taken and later foundin a park. Mr. Smyth estimates that he has spent more than $8,000 on signs for the campaign to date. Despite the problems experi- enced by the local candidates, Durham Regional Police said they have not had many inci- dents of vandalism reported. Staff Sergeant Sandy Ryrie said there will always be some reported during a campaign and said so far there has not been an "epidemic." Staff Sgt. Ryrie noted that it is an offence to deface political signs. Section 262 of the Canada Elections Act states "it is an of- fence to take down, remove, cov- er up, mutilate, deface or alter any printed advertisement, placard, poster or banner hav- ing reference to the election of a candidate without authority." Alan McConney, returning of- ficer for the Durham Riding, said he has not heard of many problems during the campaign.
