First paving of Church St. is expected later in fall The contractor for Penetanguishene's Church Street-sewer installation project says if the weather co-operates construction crews should be able to have pavement installed along the street by the end of October. Don Sherk Construction of Penetanguishene has the $800,000 contract to install sewers along the street between Don Street and the entrance to the Mental Health Centre. The upper portion of Broad Stree! and Cambridge Street are also included in the project. Don Sherk said Friday that the first two- inch thick layer of pavement will go in in the fall and a final one-inch thick layer will go in nex! spring. Final grading of lawns fronting on ihe streets will also be completed in spring, he said. The contractor told the town the project would take about 44 weeks from the starting date. Work began about three weeks ago. Construction crews began the project by digging up the old poured concrete roadbed. The original roadbed was poured, il is believed, sometime during the 1920s. It was poured by hand and, with the exception of a few areas where the road was patched, the surface withstood the elements for the better par! of 60 years. Sherk said crews digging up the original roadbed had no problems digging it up from near Don Street to Broad Street but that the short stretch between Broad Street and the Mental Health Centre presented more dif- ficulty. He said il appears the last stretch was either more strongly reinforced or poured thicker than the rest of the street, making it much more difficult to scoop up.

Penetanguishene boasts Canada's purest drinking water, and in a letter sent by Dr. P.A. Charlebois to the municipality's Plan- ning Advisory Committee, the Scarborough General Hospital anaesthetist says if there is a demand for bottled water in the Toronto market, i! could mean another industry for Penetanguishene. Dr. Charlebvis proposes io bottle tap water by hand ina white building used for storage al 46 Robert St. West. The building is beside the doctor's old family home and is in his family's name. In the letter he states everything would be done by hand by no more than three or four people al aime. Use of machinery would not be required and there would be no unusual noise or sounds from the house, Dr. Penetang native wants to test water in Toronto market Charlebois states. The temporary operation would include bottling the water in one litre containers for sale in Toronto, and storage in the building. A medium size truck using a back lane would probably be used for tran- sporting. The municipality's chief planner Paul Hodgins said yesterday ithe request is being handled cautiously by Planning because it is the first request for a temporary revision of exisling zoning regulations received by Planning. He _ explained that under the province's new Planning Act, the town can more easily pass a !emporary uses bylaw covering a set period of time of up to three years. Hodgins said he talked about the proposal with Water & Light Commission chairman Ernie Lalonde and that the com- mission has no major problems with it. Dr. Charlebois was scheduled to attend last night's Planning meeting to discuss the proposal. A recommendation is due from Planning and i! will eventually be sent to town council for a final decision. Tuesday, September 17, 1985, Page 3 ACE
