Financial Summary Update � Daily Operations
Our current water rate of $75.00 per month will remain unchanged for 2005. There was a surplus of $45,889.90 in
the water operations for 2004 within the former Township of Amabel. The accumulated surplus as of December 31,
2004 is $156,045.00. These monies are considered as "emergency funds" that could be used for any unforeseen
breaks in the equipment, or to cover any cost increases that could come from ongoing changes to provincial water
regulations.

Financial Summary Update � Capital Projects
For the Years 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004

Total Capital Expenditures $1,161,179.13

Less: Province of Ontario Grants $758,797.71

Water System Tax Levy ($137.50 per h/h) $151,654.43

Unfinanced Capital � December 31/04 Debt of $250,726.99

The $137.50 collected annually on the tax bill of each Amabel Water System property owner generates
approximately $51,000.00 each year. These funds are used to partially finance the Unfinanced Capital account.
Unfinanced capital is a debt owed to the Town that is to be funded by the water consumer for capital upgrades
completed from 2001-2004.

Recap of Capital Expenditure Activity 2001-2004 Inclusive
� Four environmental assessments
� Reconstruction of the Forbes Water Pumphouse
� Installation of Chlorine Contact Chambers at Robins, Winburk and Gremik Water Systems
� Installation of On-Line Chlorine Analysers on all water systems
� Installation of On-Line Turbidity Analysers on all water systems
� Preparation of mandatory engineers reports on all water systems
� Preparation of OSTAR (Provincial Grant) applications for all water systems
� Hydrogeological study for merged water systems: Winburk, Fedy, Gremik, Thomson, Trask, Robins and
Forbes
� Environmental assessments on all water systems
� Installation of water sample stations at Foreman, Robins, Winburk and Fiddlehead water systems.

All capital items listed were mandated by the Provincial Government in order to meet the new comprehensive water
regulations.

Environmental Assessment Update
In February 2005 the Town received correspondence from the Minister of the Environment acknowledging the
completion of our environmental assessments and authorizing the Town to proceed with the required capital
upgrades to meet Provincial Water Regulation #170.

Construction Update
The Town of South Bruce Peninsula recently completed final design for Huron Woods and Foreman Water Systems,
upgrades and construction will commence by the summer of 2005. The Town will commence engineering and
design work this spring and intend to tender the remaining water systems in late summer or early fall 2005.

In the near future, a construction by-law and a rating by-law will be considered by Council in a public forum. These
by-laws will outline future capital costs including the foregoing Unfinanced Capital and will outline each property
owner's estimated portion prior to construction. At the time of completion of the upgrades on all water systems, an
actual cost per property will be calculated and each affected resident will have the opportunity to commute their
actual cost or debenture the same over a period of years. If you decide to debenture these costs the principal and
interest would appear on your final tax bill annually.

Cross Connections
Please be advised that the Town of South Bruce Peninsula does not allow "cross connections" to it's municipal
water system. If you have an alternate source of water such as a sand point, cistern or drilled well it cannot be
connected in any way to your municipal water supply plumbing, internal or external. If you believe that you may
have a cross connection please contact the Town immediately and take corrective action as soon as possible.

Lawn Watering Restrictions
Persons connected to the waterworks system with even house numbers (eg. 2, 4, 6, 8) may only water on even
numbered days of the month and persons connected to the waterworks system with uneven house numbers (eg. 1, 3,
5, 7) may only water on uneven numbered days of the month. Lawn watering may only take place between 6:00 am
