There was a lot of scurrying around for a while, he says, but there proved to be lots of water in the big tank after all. Operations Engineer Wayne Bando of the Regional Municipality of York says a new well started to operate at Markham in June. So the region hasn’t had any trouble keeping up with Markham Town's demand for water so far this year. But he has _his fingers crossed. But not this year, as municipal authorities at last seem to have licked all the problems of supply, distribution and treatment. And now with an augmented supply from Metro reser- voirs on Bayview Avenue and Kennedy Road, Markham's major water worries seem about over. For the first time in years the Thornhill area of Markham Town appears to be headed through a whole summer without a residential water shortage. In recent years problem after problem has kept a lot of Thornhill taps dry during the summer months.

To make doubly sure the Unionville prob- lem is cleared away, the town has another con- struction plan which starts this fall. Since Metro water is now available, a Ila-mile pipe- line is to be built from the Kennedy Road Metro reservoir to Unionville. Mukherjee points out that Markham has a limited budget and it takes a bit of time to do things project by project. “But we get there finally,” he said. The Unionville situation showed up last year and was an apprehended problem with the remedy already on the way, said the town engineer. And the Unionville problem was really only a matter of distribution and won’t be a major job to clear up. Mukherjee said the town engineering staff knew well in advance there would be difficulties in Unionville. The staff and town council had the remedy all worked out, but they ran into a citizen objec- tion of a 12-inch water main to connect Union- ville with Old Markham. That objection still stands and the town is waiting for a Municipal Board hearing to get it cleared away. hot spell. “But since we put restrictions on {awn watering, we’re all right,” said Mukher- Jee.
