choosing the best water and sewer policy presents a heads or tails dilemma for durham regional council in terms of possible rate structures it appears either oshawa wins or t he r e m ai n i n g municipalities do under the current water not- counting sewage rate structure uxbridge residents could expect an astronomical 829 per cent increase this year if it was decided that the 56 million water works budget for 1976 should be paid off by the years end j that information was contained in a finance department report issued last week also using the present system it said pickering would have a 176 per cent rise as op posed to oshawas 19 per cent v the current water rate plan charges municipalities only for what they use another possible system would be a regional rate structure in which water and sewer expenditures would be paid by each municipality in- accord with its total share of regional- assessment that policy would make oshawa a loser and the other municipalities winners oshawas average annual water bill per iise would be 76 under the latter plan instead of 55 while uxbridge would be 71 instead of 190 and pickering 70 instead of 175 last week oshawa council unanimously voted to oppose a uniform regional water and sewer rate on the basis that oshawa ratepayers have already paid substantial funds to get their current services a regional system would force them to support the remaining municipalities in getting- comparable service other municipalities want control of water and sewer services returned to local control including uxbridge brock and scugdg who recently approved a resolution to that effect works budget approved a 90 million five- year capital works program was approved by durham regional council jast week they did so with the assurance that council would be able to review the program later on even the 1975 portion of the budget could be revised when a regional budget is hammered out on june 18 according to works committee chairman
