handling and changing oil in their cars around the lake he added that one litre of spilt oil will cover and contaminate one square kilometre of surface water in the lake i encourage people to be very careful when handling oil beller by said proper handling of oil means to place the used substance in a safe sealed container in the garage and have the oil transported and dis posed of at one of york regions free household hazardous waste collection days developer wants first sewage handouts tracy kibble staff reporter a developer wants first crack at any sewage alloca tions the town may be handing out in the near future and wants to see the waiting list of other recipients council heard this week robert johnston of alcorn associates limited said a 120home final portion of a logical rounding out of a planned urban area should get first priority of any sewage handouts the town may consider thicketwood developments located off lori avenue and the 10th concession will add 90 detached homes and 30 townhouses to the thicketwood threephase project johnston said johnston said this final stage of development was approved in principle by the town and york region in 1 986 subject to water and sewer availability he added that a recent study which indicates another 1000 units could be added to the plants capacity level means thicketwood developments should receive the extra units first johnston is referring to a study performed by consul tant group macviro which explored three options to serve the communitys sewage needs for a forecasted 20000 people the study paid for by york region indicated an expansion of 1000 units would be the most realistic solution without harming the environment but ward 5 councillor doug alles without meaning to sound humorous stressed concern the development may be located too close to the sewage treatment plant are the houses down or upwind from the plant in the summer this could be a problem alles said adding council should be cautioned about the location of the houses johnston however said the wind comes from the west and northwest and the homes are opposite func tioning parts of the building however the ministry of the environment has not yet commented on a draft plan of subdivision for required setback from the plant johnston said council agreed to consider the request when discus sions relating to sewage are brought before them census day june 4 statistics canada is urging all ontarians to take part in the 1991 census of population and agriculture june 4 the 12000 census representatives will be handing
