King City open to local solutions
Time to protect natural treasures
Editorial, Oct. 22.
In your editorial on
the municipal election in King Township, you state incorrectly
that opponents of the Big Pipe are for preserving outdated
septic systems. We are prepared to compromise and allow a
local sewage treatment plant into King City to allow for some
development, some intensification of the downtown core and for
expansion of local businesses.
King's present council
has requested and received expressions of interest from three
manufacturers of sewage treatment plants that could be built
for King City. York Region, with the encouragement of our
current mayor, refuses to consider these plants but insists on
the Big Pipe. Why? Its plans are developer driven.
King City, on the
environmentally sensitive Oak Ridges Moraine, deserves real
protection.
