Reduction to one bag of garbage January 1 2008

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

November 14, 2007

A Waste Management and Recycling Committee was established as a
Committee of Council on August 13, 2007. Named to the Committee were
Councillor Wray Lamont, Councillor Dan Kerr, Robert Woolvett and Brad Burnett.

Waste management and recycling initiatives are the main priority of the
Committee with their focus being public education and the encouragement of
recycling with the intention of the initiation of new recycling programs. They also
wish to bring more focus to garbage collection and landfilling activities.

This Committee began their tenure by self education; participating in facility tours
of recycling, composting and landfill sites. They have armed themselves with the
knowledge of programs which have been successful in other municipalities and
are excited to bring these ideas to South Bruce Peninsula for implementation.

As public education will be paramount to the success of this Committee, watch
for information booths, pamphlets, newspaper ads and mail outs to keep abreast
of the exciting new collection programs, depots and containers as they become
available.

The Committee meets on a monthly basis (or more frequently if required).
Members of the public are encouraged to attend and offer their insight and
experience in the areas of garbage and recycling programs. Meeting times and
dates are available by contacting Town Hall 519-534-1400 ext 130.

With the reduction to one bag of garbage for collection beginning January 1,
2008, the Committee stresses the importance of increasing household recycling
as much material as possible. Recycle bins are available for sale at Town Hall.
Bag tags (to be affixed to bags in excess of the bag limit) are available for sale at
the following locations: Sauble Information Centre, Aiken Brothers Home
Hardware, Town Hall, Wiarton Train Station, Cindy's Variety, Sauble Library,
Solway's Food Market, Kirkland's Valu-Mart, Sauble Pharmacy and Daisy Mart.
Bag tags are $1.50 each.

Water and Sewer Meeting
January 30, 2007
Regional Sewer and Water
History and Review of
Previous Studies
Water and sewer has
been a topic of interest
for over 35 years in
Sauble Beach and more
recently, in the outlying
areas including Hepworth
Ground and Surface Water Quality
Study along the Bruce County
Shoreline (Ontario Water Resources
Commission, 1969)

The report issued the following recommendation
regarding water supply and sewage treatment services
for the Sauble Beach area: "Existing and future
development in the urban areas; i.e. Sauble Beach,
should be provided with communal water and sewage
treatment facilities. Treated Lake Huron water should be
used as the source of water supply."

Reference: Environmental Study Report ­
March 2001
Sauble Beach Area Conceptual Brief ­
Proposed Provincial Sanitary Sewage
Treatment and Collector Facilities ­
Township of Amabel (Gamsby and
Mannerow Limited, 1973)

The study examined the feasibility of providing complete
sewage works facilities to service the built-up areas of
Sauble Beach. Possible health hazards and potential
loss of tourist trade were identified as key concerns. A
high ground water table and heavily loaded soils in
densely populated section of the beach did not permit
adequate residency within the soil mantle, the report
claimed. In problem areas, it was recommended that
sanitary sewers be considered.
Continued...
The study examined options for sewage collection,
treatment facilities, pumping stations and trunk sewers.
The conceptual brief proposed that sewage from all
developed and vacant lots be collected by a sewer
collection system draining into a simple trunk sewer
along the lakefront with a service of lift stations to convey
the sewage along the length of the service area. Waste
stabilization ponds were proposed means of sewage
treatment with a design retention time of 30 days under
maximum daily flows. A revised sewage conceptual
design brief in 1974 outlined continuous discharge to
Lake Huron through a diffuser outfall instead of effluent
disposal by spray irrigation as indicated in the original
brief.
Reference: Environmental Study Report ­
March 2001
Sauble Beach Area Conceptual Brief ­
Proposed Provincial Water Treatment
Works and Distribution System ­
Township of Amabel (Gamsby and
Mannerow Limited, 1973)

The study examined the feasibility of providing water
treatment and storage facilities and a water distribution
system to serve the built-up areas of Sauble Beach. The
report indicated that lots were very small and the area so
densely populated that it is impossible, without
conflicting with local regulation, to locate both septic tank
tile beds and water supply on the same lot. Water
samples taken from drilled wells indicated that the water
was generally high in mineral content due to the nature
of the bedrock.
Continued...
Water wells in the area have a very low recovery rate
and a great deal of storage would have to be provided to
meet peak demands. The source of water proposed was
from Lake Huron with an intake located north of the
mouth of the Sauble River, where the lake bottom is
bedrock. A complete water treatment plant was
proposed using parallel units to facilitate partial
shutdown during low demand periods. Substantial
storage was proposed to ease peak demands, provide
fire flows and provide temporary supply during
emergency plant shutdown.

Reference: Environmental Study Report ­
March 2001
Sauble Beach Sewage System ­
Preliminary Report to the Township of
Amabel (MacLaren Engineers, 1984)

The study was initiated because of concerns that many
of the properties in the commercial core were of
insufficient size to permit conventional septic tank/tile
bed systems and that the bathing water quality along the
beach may be deteriorating. The importance of Sauble
Beach as a prime summer recreation and the increasing
number of seasonal cottage conversions to permanent
residences was acknowledged.

Continued...
An analysis and review of water quality data revealed no
positive connection between the beach water quality and
existing private sewage disposal systems. The report
outlined proposed service areas, alternative collection
and treatment systems. A preliminary cost estimate for
Phase 1 construction activities (to service the existing
commercial core along Main St. from Lake Huron to D-
Line, plus private campgrounds), with sewage collection
via lower pressure sewers to stabilization ponds for
treatment and direct discharge to Lake Huron, was over
$5.3 million (1984 dollars, not including land and legal
costs).

Reference: Environmental Study Report ­
March 2001
Groundwater Supply Study ­ Sauble
Beach, Township of Amabel
(Conestoga-Rovers & Associates, 1993)

The study was initiated in response to reported
interference due to pumping of a commercial well during
1988. Computer modelling was used to evaluate the
impact of groundwater extraction resulting from the
existing, approved and proposed development. In order
to maintain adequate and potable supplies of
groundwater to existing and approved developments
within the study area, the report concluded that it would
be necessary to regulate where future development can
occur.

Continued...
Development within specified recharge areas should be
discouraged and limited to minor infilling to provide an
adequate supply of potable water to down gradient well
users. A long-term monitoring program was
recommended to monitor regional groundwater levels.

EA and Funding Assistance for
Water/Sewage, Sauble and Hepworth
Evidence of Failure ­ limits on community economic development;
limits on property owners improvement to and enjoyment of their
properties; increased need for MOE approved disposal site for pump
outs of holding tanks; inability to meet housing needs of residents
Defined Problem Area ­ within Amabel Township municipal
boundaries, community physically and socially identified as Sauble
Beach; specific problem area in business core and older residential
portion which are higher density and undersized lots for private
servicing; area defined by: centered around Main St and Sauble
Falls Parkway, bounded by 6th Street and Bannister Drive south of
County Road No. 8, 3rd Street and Lindsay Street north of County
Road No. 8 (see map on next slide)
Existing Services Problem Area ­ existing water supply and sewage
disposal systems are private/individuals with one exception; one
communal water distribution system which supplies water to 30
residential parcels (27 connections); current demand is for
commercial and multiple residential rather than industrial uses

Reference: Fenco MacLaren, July 1994
Executive Study ­ Environmental
Study Report
In 1995, the Township of Amabel and Village of
Hepworth jointly agreed to undertake a water and
sewage works study for the community of Sauble Beach
and the Village of Hepworth (Ministry of the Environment
Project No. 51-0063-01). RV Anderson Associates
Limited was retained to collect and analyze water data,
examine existing problems/opportunities and consider
water and sanitary sewage servicing concepts in
accordance with the Municipal Engineers Association
Class Environmental Assessment for Municipal Water
and Wastewater Projects. A Phase 1 and 2 report was
issued in 1997 for public review.

Continued...
Following the amalgamation of the Township of Amabel,
Township of Albemarle, Town of Wiarton and Village of
Hepworth as the Town of South Bruce Peninsula, RV
Anderson Associates Limited was asked to carry out the
next steps (Phase 3 and 4) of the water and sewage
works study. The purpose of Phase 3 was to examine
alternative methods (design concepts) of implementing
the preferred municipal water and wastewater servicing
solutions, considering existing environmental conditions,
public consultation, anticipated impacts and mitigation
measures. This document was completed and
submitted to the MOE in June 2001.

Reference: RVA Water and Sewage
Works Study, 2001
Addendum #1 to the Sauble
Beach/Hepworth Water and Sewage
Works Study
The addendum contains details of the revised sewage works
extending from Sauble Beach to include Hepworth. The
recommended solution involves a sewage collection system in
Hepworth and transmission line along County Road 8 to the
proposed Wastewater Pollution Control Plant (WPCP) near Sauble
Beach.
The recommended works for Hepworth and vicinity would include
7,900m of 200mm diameter gravity flow sewers in Hepworth, lift
station, pumping station located east of the Sauble River, and
5000m of forcemain. This wastewater servicing component would
be added to the previously identified collector sewers and low-lift
pumping station in Sauble Beach, forcemain and proposed WPCP
(with an increase in size of 674m3/day to a revised ultimate capacity
of 10,310m3/day). The total estimated capital costs are $39,800.00.
Assuming costs are shared among all lots in Hepworth and Sauble
Beach, as well as properties along County Road 8, the estimated
cost per connection would be approximately $9,300.00.
Reference: RVA Letter, October 31, 2003
In 2003 a joint document was prepared by South
Bruce Peninsula, Arran Elderslie and Brockton
to investigate a Bruce County water system.
The plan considered approximately 10,000
connections throughout the three municipalities
and a price of $131,000,000.00. No further
action ever came from the report and the
municipalities decided to update their own water
systems individually.
2006 Addendum #2 ­ Class EA
Water and Sewage Study
This document was prepared by Henderson Paddon and
Associates. The intent of Addendum #2 was to refresh
the 2001 EA completed by RV Anderson (MOE
requirement to refresh EA every 5 years) and to finalize
site selections for sewage treatment facility.
This document is available on the Town of South Bruce
Peninsula website www.southbrucepeninsula.com
Our most recent estimate for the preferred water supply
alternative is $31.67 million and the preferred
wastewater system is $46.8 million
Approximately $7,000 per water connection and $11,000
per sewer connection
Recent Water Quality Data
At the request of the MOE, the Town of
South Bruce Peninsula agreed to take
samples of ditch water in Sauble Beach
These ditches were being tested by Henderson
Paddon to determine the potential impact of
communal water supply on existing septic beds.
The samples were tested for E. Coli, Total
Coliform, Background Count, and Heterotrophic
Plate Count (HPC). These samples are relevant
because the water in running ditches can be
assumed to be similar to the water contained in
shallow groundwaters nearby. The water in
these wells is essentially surface water
contained in the sand above denser material
below. If the nearby surface water is highly
contaminated, the water in the shallow aquifer is
likely to be contaminated as well.

Continued...
Table 4.1 shows the results of this examination
of the ditch water for Sauble Beach. It can be
seen in this table that all of the ditches sampled
have elevated levels of E.Coli and Total
Coliform. None of the samples have E.Coli less
than 10 cfu/100mL or Total Coliform less than
1,470 cfu/100mL. The maximum E.Coli level
sampled is 700 cfu/100mL, and the maximum
Total Coliform sample is 26,000 cfu/100mL.
These levels are extremely high given that there
is no other obvious source of these
contaminants other than surrounding septic
beds.
Continued...
The results of the ditch samples are considered
unsafe in several respects. If these samples
were taken at a public beach, the beach would
be posted (or closed) for having E.Coli levels
greater than 100 cfu/100mL. This would
indicate that there was a risk of being affected
with minor skin, eye, ear, nose and throat
infections and stomach disorders, and
swimmimg would be discouraged. It may be
assumed that if the water is unsafe to swim in,
then it is also unsafe to bathe in. Obviously,
none of these water samples meet the Ontario
Drinking Water Standards, and would require
significant treatment to disinfect the water in
order to drink it.

June 2006
In Closing...
For several decades the former Township
of Amabel and now the Town of South
Bruce Peninsula have continually
attempted to obtain funding to provide
municipal services to Sauble Beach and
the surrounding area. It is apparent that
the issue is complex, controversial and
has a substantial financial impact.
In Closing...
Currently the Town has completed the
Environmental Assessment and submitted
the document to the MOE and the public
for comment.

From this process we have received three
Part Two bump up orders or appeals to
the process and or document.
In Closing...
The Town staff and our engineers will
meet with the appellants in an attempt to
clearly understand and respond to the
concerns they have listed.

Prior to meeting with the concerned
parties, Town staff and our consultants
wish to confirm Council's position on
providing sewer and water services to
Sauble Beach.

Potential Expansion of Water and Sewer Servicing

Potential Expansion of Water and
Sewer Servicing

for the former
Town of Wiarton
Objectives
The Town of South Bruce Peninsula
commissioned the Potential Expansion of
Water and Sewer Servicing Study to
prepare cost estimates for potential
expansion of the water and sewer
servicing areas within the former Town of
Wiarton
Objectives
Various portions of the Town have
previously been identified as possible
candidates for expansion of water and
sewer servicing. These areas are largely
in the northwest, west and southwest
portions of the former Town of Wiarton.
Objectives
Particularly in the west and northwest,
further expansion of water and sewer in
this area have been hindered by relatively
high costs due to extensive bedrock
conditions, and in some cases,
challenging topography to install gravity
sewers. In part, the topography challenge
has been overcome with a proposed new
sewage pumping station at the west end of
Elm Street.
Objectives
In all cases, it is assumed that watermains
and sewers would be installed under the
same contract at the same time for all
streets. As such, watermain costs have
been reduced in that the majority of the
restoration costs, if appropriate for an
urban street section, have been included
in the sanitary sewer costs and not
"doubled up" in the watermain costs.
Objectives
The Potential Expansion of Water and
Sewer Servicing Report has been partly
based on previous studies, including the
former Schedule C Class Environmental
Assessment completed for the former
Town of Wiarton to identify options for
expansion of watermain and sewers in
select areas of the Town.
Cost Estimate
Cost estimates for proposed watermain
and sanitary sewer expansions are
included in Tables 1 and 2, respectively.

In preparing the cost estimates, a
significant premium for rock excavation
was included for watermain and sewer
installation for the areas north of George
Street.
Cost Estimate
For areas south of George Street, a lower
premium for rock excavation was also
included.

The Tables include 12% for engineering,
13% for contingencies, and an additional
5% for the contractor's insurance,
bonding, mobilization, etc.
Conclusion
The Potential Expansion of Water and
Sewer Servicing report summarizes
possible expansion of water and sewer
services for the Town of Wiarton and
provides and approximate cost estimate
toward these services. All pipeline sizes
are subject to modest revision based on
final design. Costs in all cases do not
include costs on private property to install
individual water or sewer services.
Water Metering
Conservation and Accountability

What are some of the benefits of installing water meters in a
municipality?
Pay for only the water you use.
Track your water use.
Detect leaks in your water system.
Decreased water consumption.

Pay for only the water you use
Meters allow you to pay only for the water you use. If there are less
than four people in your household and you use water wisely, you
will likely see a decrease on your water bill after a meter is installed.

Track your water use
Meters also allow you to track your water use so you can determine
if new appliances, fixtures or habit changes are affecting your water
bills.
Detect Leaks in Your Water System

Decreased water consumption
Environment Canada has shown that once meters are installed in a
municipality, water consumption decreases from 18-25%. This means
that less drinking water needs to be treated and less wastewater is sent
to the wastewater treatment plant for treatment.
Meters are a regular reminder of our water consumption and people who
are aware are more likely to change their water habits with little or no
effort.
Report Recommendations

The following is an excerpt from
the Water Strategy Expert Panel's
report, Watertight: The case for
change in Ontario's water and
wastewater sector.
The Needed Reforms

The Panel believes that a wide range of
changes to the water sector will be needed to
meet the challenges ahead. We have focused
on the following reforms to ensure that systems
are sustainable and rates reasonable:
Systems must look to their customers
for financial sustainability.
Consumers should pay the full cost of the services they
consume, which will require full metering. This will help
to ensure that systems are not overbuilt, conservation is
encouraged and nature is respected. With full-cost
recovery and improved economies of scale, most water
systems in Ontario will be able to rely on their customer
base to maintain and operate their assets over the long
term. Only where systems are shown to be
unsustainable should the Province provide subsidies,
and in those cases it should act as trustee of the assets
until the system can be made sustainable.

Ontario's water and wastewater sector is

Water Metering Financial Impact
· As of 2007 the Wiarton Water Treatment Facility
is paid for. Water consumers have been paying
approx $187,000 every year since 1994. This
fee was built into the bi-monthly water bills.
· The Town now has the ability to provide water
meters to it consumers without charging an
additional fee. Simply put, we will use the funds
currently being collected to pay the water plant
off to pay for water metering over the next 3 to 4
years.
· The low bid for the installation of water meters
and a fixed network reading solution for Wiarton
was $ 520,000
Fixed Network Technology
· Fixed Network technology consists of a remote
reading device (installed at each house beside
the meter), a transmitter, and receiving station
(computer at Town Hall)
· This technology allows water meter readings to
be sent directly to Town Hall 4 times per day,
allows for immediate notification for leak
detection and eliminates the need to hire a
meter reader.
Backflow Prevention
· Along with the installation of water meters is the
installation of backflow preventions devices in
each home, business and institution. Backflow
prevention devices prevent any water or
substance from leaving the house or business
and re-entering the water supply. Backflow
prevention devices are required on all new
buildings under the Ontario Building Code.
Tendering Process
· In December 2006 four water metering companies
submitted proposals to install water meters, backflow
preventers and a fixed network meter reading solution.
· On January 8, 2007 Town Council approved the
following recommendation:
That the Town of South Bruce Peninsula notify Canadian
Water Services (CWS) that they ranked first upon review
of all water metering proposals for the installation of
water meters and a fixed network meter reading solution
for the Town of Wiarton. And furthermore, subject to a
successful review of the project on January 30th 2007
council authorizes the preparation of a contract by the
municipal solicitor with CWS.

Upgrading Sauble Beach/Area Existing Water Systems

Upgrading Sauble
Beach and Area
Existing Water
Systems
Introduction and Background
The Town of South Bruce Peninsula owns
and operates eleven small waterworks in
the Sauble Beach, Chesley Lake and
Oliphant areas. In the Sauble Beach area,
there are eight waterworks, namely
Robins, Fedy, Forbes, Trask, Thomson,
Winburk, Gremik and Huron Woods.
Fiddlehead & Cammidge and Collins are
in Oliphant and Foreman water system in
Chesley Lake
Background
In 2000, the Province of Ontario promulgated Drinking
Water Protection Regulation 459/00, which has now
been replaced with Regulation 170.03. The Engineer's
Reports for all eleven water works were prepared and
submitted to the MOE in 2001. Based on the findings of
the Engineer's Reports, the MOE issued Consolidated
Certificates of Approval which outlined the capital
upgrades required for each waterworks to meet the
requirements of the Regulation. Based on these
Consolidated Certificates of Approval, the Town of South
Bruce Peninsula submitted applications to Ontario Small
Town and Rural Development Infrastructure Program
(OSTAR) for a Provincial grant to upgrade all eleven
waterworks, including the seven waterworks in the
Sauble Beach area.
Background
The Town of South Bruce Peninsula initiated a
Class Environmental Assessment to determine
the most appropriate alternative to meet the
requirements of the Regulation for all eleven
waterworks. A preliminary information package
comprising of the problem definition and
preliminary alternative solutions was prepared
and mailed to the water consumers of these
waterworks. This information package was also
advertised in the local newspaper.
Background
To confirm the adequacy and suitability of
the water supply (for the preferred
alternatives) in the Sauble Beach and
Oliphant area water systems, a
hydrogeological investigation was initiated
after the preliminary information package
was issued.
Background
A public meeting was held on October 12, 2002
where information was presented relating to the
problem definition and alternative solutions for
all eleven water systems. The preferred
alternative was to combine the seven
waterworks in the Sauble Beach area, namely
Robins, Fedy, Forbes, Trask, Thomson, Winburk
and Gremik and be serviced by a centrally-
located water supply and treatment works
hereinafter called the "Amabel-Sauble
Waterworks".
Background
It was also proposed to combine the Fiddlehead
and the Cammidge and Collins waterworks into
one common water supply and treatment works,
hereinafter called the "Oliphant Waterworks".
The Huron Woods and Foreman waterworks
were identified to remain as "stand alone"
waterworks. The Amabel-Sauble Waterworks
and the Oliphant Area Water System were
identified as Schedule C activities under the
Municipal Class Environmental Assessment
whereas upgrades to the Huron Woods and
Foreman Waterworks were identified as
Schedule B activities.
Background
The information presented at the public meeting for the
Amabel-Sauble School Waterworks and the Oliphant
Area Water System was compiled after public comments
were received. A report entitled "Phase I and Phase II
Class Environmental Assessment Report for Upgrading
Nine Water Supply Systems in Sauble/Oliphant Area",
February 2003 was prepared and circulated to
government agencies. The Council of South Bruce
Peninsula selected the preferred alternative (as identified
at the public meeting) for the Sauble Beach and Oliphant
Area Waterworks and passed a resolution on June 9,
2003 after giving due consideration to public comments.
Background
The selection of the preferred alternative commenced
the beginning of the Phase III assessment of the
Oliphant Area Water System and the Amabel-Sauble
School Waterworks. The Phase III assessments for the
two water systems were undertaken concurrently as two
separate projects. The alternative design concepts for
the preferred alternative were prepared and the
information was presented to the public on October 4,
2003, a mandatory Phase III public open house. At this
public open house, alternative design concepts for the
Amabel-Sauble School Waterworks and the Oliphant
Area Water System were presented. South Bruce
Peninsula is considering the preferred alternative as
identified in the October 4, 2003 Phase III public open
house, for complying with the Regulation requirements
for Robins, Fedy, Forbes, Trask, Thomson, Winburk and
Gremik.
Cost Per Water Customer Estimates
In keeping with current policy of the
municipality, the capital cost for up-grading
of all eleven water systems in the Chesley
area and Oliphant and Sauble Beach area
waterworks will be shared equally by all
existing and vacant lot owners on the
eleven water systems. The operation and
maintenance cost will be shared by all
existing water customers of the eleven
water systems.
