4 Stouffville Sun-Tribune | Thursday, April 28, 2016 | Firm pleads guilty to stealing water A Whitchurch-Stouffville company will have to flush $500 in fines for stealing water from a King Township hydrant last year in the first case of the township pursuing a case of water theft through the courts. Ontario Hydro Vac pleaded guilty to the water theft in a Newmarket courtroom last week, according to a release from the Township of King. The company faced a fine that ranged from $100 all the way up to $50,000. "We take the issue of water theft extremely seriously," said Kathryn Moyle, Township Clerk and Director of Clerks and Bylaw. "It poses a serious health and safety risk and costs the municipality lost revenue." Township staff noticed that somebody had illegally hooked up to a hydrant on Melrose Avenue in King City on Oct. 29, 2015.

That enabled bylaw officers to investigate and eventually lay a charge of using a municipal hydrant without a permit. John Vandenberg, King Township's water and wastewater compliance engineering technologist, said there are negative impacts to water system due to illegal hook-ups: · Contamination of the drinking water through pressure reduction or back siphonage. · Failure of hydrant(s) in fire situations due to damage caused by unauthorized access. · Overall damage to municipal water infrastructure through improper operation of the hydrant. · Cost to the municipality due to lost revenue from the stolen water. King is asking people to contact the municipality if they see suspicious activity around fire hydrants. tenA Briefs, underweAr or pAds 14'S - 72'S royAle BAtHroom tissue The Store That Makes You Smile! 50CC Gas Scooters 60 Volt Electric in the crate Scooter reg. $1595 $ $ Electric Scooters, ATV's, Bikes and More! reg. g. $1795 795 99 pkg. 4 99 pkg. reg. 1595 595 699 6KU Track Bikes reg. $679 Sale 995 World's Smartest Helmet Sale No License!
