water and sewer dave barrow dont use private sector to fix problems richmond hill mayor says service billions of dollars need to be injected into withering municipal infra structure most

report by residential and civil construction alliance of ontario a lobby group comprised of construction associations and unions the old way of doing things no lon ger works we need to consider some fresh approaches said andy mana- ham executive director of the alliance key among the reports recommen dations are raising water and sewer charges to make them reflective of the true cost and variable

outlet blimp safcsktpi g pipes i dont think we want to play around with the private sector when it comes to our water there are too many regulations the mayor said the town has been able to keep up with repairs and maintenance of existing infrastructure he added however a report from town staff earlier this month indicated as the town reaches buildout reserves used for repairs could run dry within 12 years but the present has as many pressing concerns as the future mr barrow said having the water and sewer infra structure to meet growth requirements is the biggest problem we have he said richmond hill is two years behind schedule due mainly to the fact water and sewer cannot keep pace with growth that has already been approved there will be little housing activity until 2010 or 201 1 mr barrow said the municipality had been churning out 2000 to 3000 building permits a year which has now dropped to about 500 annually the problem is compounded by the fact richmond hill along with many gta municipalities hasbeen identified as a growth area by the province but the infrastructure crunch hasnt reached the crisis stage mr barrow said the regions general manager of water and waste water debbie korol- nek agreed its an issue all across canada but were well positioned in york region she said our infrastructure is still young were not worried but its a priority for us while the alliance pointed to the suc cess of privatesector intervention in the united kingdom ms korolnek said that was necessitated by the poor condition of its infrastructure compared to the gta however she agreed homeowners will bear the cost to maintain high water and sewer standards rates will go up probably 10 per cent a year for a few years she said dignity choice compassion human comfort support
