Water Table Impact - We have had discussions with the Works Department• of the Region in an effort to co-ordinate activities respecting the water table impact of both the trunk services and other services such as local sewer and water mains and the storm drainage works. To this end, the Town of Newcastle wrote the Works Department on June 6., 1977 requesting their assistance and co-operation. As a result of this communication, the Regional Municipality has co-ordinated its endeavors respecting water table impact with those of the Town and has introduced us to Mr. Ian Wilson, the Region's consultant, who will be requested to provide the Town with a cost estimate for carrying out additional water table,impact studies. Mr. Wilson's work would be undertaken in parallel with his assignment for the Region which is outlined in a letter to hotheov'rners dated June 30, 1977.
