Reeve Davis inquived regarding the water
situation and inquired if the elevated tank
level had dropped to 3 feet recently and the
Town Superintendent advised that this had
happened 1 day last week~
Mayor Nisbet felt that if Town .aesidents would
co-operate : : with the present watering
restrictions then we can get by as far as the
water situation is concerned,
Councillor Child felt that we rely too much on
local paper to get into all the houses in
Aurora and felt that a letter should be forward-
ed to every house holder advising of the
water restrictions and further stating that
any infractions will result in a summons.
CHILD:
DAVIS:
"That a letter concerning water
restrictions and penalties be
forwarded to every householder
in Town subsequent to this letter
being approved by the water
Committee,"
Carried,
Councillor Murray stated that it may be more
feasibi0 if watering was allowed two hours
every second night and that this could be done
if the Town were divided in two one half
being allowed to water one night and the other
half allowed to water the following night •
Councillor Murray felt that this would be a
bette:!:' solution to.the problem,
MURRAY:
DAVIS:
Resolved that the by-law be ~ended
:j.noJ;"der.that the Town be divided ri,o:ftfi e.:nd sputh to allow watering
tw6 hours every o.tl:ler night.

years and for example one part of the Town
the sewers and watermains are om~ local
improvement and in other parts some pay for
these services , when they purchase theiF
house. Councillor Jlllurray felt that consider-
ation should now be given to establishing
a ward system in the Town and would request
that discussion on this matter take place in
the near future.

request from the Recreation Commission ~o ask
Council what their intentions are with
completing Regency Acres Park. Town Engineer
