WATER
F. aler and Sewage Services.
The crux perhaps of this whole lnlllc of amalgamation lies in the hold of water and sewage. and the possibilities of making the same available In the immediate luiure to the residents or Parkdale rind Spring Park not now enjoying those services.
From the very beginning. this fact was recognised by your Meta- ropoutan Committee and that is why during 1006, consideration vial given to the possibility of having a comprehensive water and sewage survey carried out so that all the facts would be a allable in this regard for inclusion in this re-
nrt.
pThanks to the Interest and gen- erosity of the City of Char- loiletown, a sum of 810,000.00 was voted in that year for such a sur- vey to be carried out by WJI. Crandall. Professional Engineer at Moncton. N.B.. and his report and estimates of the cost of both an integrated and separate water and sewage systems. for the Met- rnpolltall area are attached hereto as Exhibit "A"-
SURVEY' i'
Main finding of that survey is as set out in such report, that the costs of separate sewer and water systems over and above the costs integrated systems. would be ap- proximately SIIMXDM minimum. provided common use is made of the city's mains along the Malpe- que and.Mount Edward Roads. lf however. such is not feasible or permitted. then the cost of separ- ate sewer and water systems over and above the cost of integrated systems would run to a total of s26l.o00.00, and Mr. Crandall con- cluded that in his opinion such a potential saving of approximate- ly 30 per not in tentative capital construction costs warrants a de- termined effort by all rosponsi” parties to overcome any differen- ros which would prevent a common installation. From both an engine- ering and financial standpoint. Mr Crandall stalas. the servicing of the Metropolitan area of Charlotte- town leaves no alternative.
The Crandall survey estimates of the cost of a separate water system for Parkdale is sIt.soo.oo and for its separate sewage sys- lcm. siss.sao.oo For Spring Park a separate water system would run to ms.snn.oo, and for its 30- srale sewage system. tm.soo.oo- a total of ssss.sao.oo for separate water and sewage systems in both villages. ..
