boiling advisory for Shawville\u2019s drinking water was lifted yesterday.The advisory went into effect Tuesday, Sept.10 after a sample taken from a house on John Dale I VA Road, if fire services are cut off by La Pêche Sept.23.He said a small garage used to house a pumper truck, which could respond to fires before the Quyon Fire Department, is being considered.By MICHAEL LLOYD Equity Reporter ' LUSKVILLE La pêche has threatened to cut off fire service to Municipality of Pontiac residents near Lac La Pèche, over a $68,000 bill.MoP has been given a due date of Sept.23 to either come up with the money or lose vital fire protection services and road maintenance that La Pêche Mayor Robert Bussière claims his municipality has been providing.Because the La Pêche Fire Department is closer to houses in the Lac La Pêche region of MoP, it has been servicing those residents.\u201cWe're looking into it.'' said MoP Mayor Bruce Campbell.\u201cWe'll be going over there (to La pêche) to discuss it with the mayor and secretary-treasurer.\" Campbell said the meeting is scheduled for next week.Campbell feels $68,000 might be a little inflated, but, \u201cthere are some legitimate bills there.\u201d Annexation wars MoP council is considering annexing a section of land in the southern part of La Pêche, west of the Eardley-Masham Road.\u201cIt (has) the road that goes in and out of our municipality,\u201d Campbell said, of the reason for taking the land from La Pêche.He said it would make more sense if Pontiac was in possession of the whole road instead of La Pêche being in charge of maintaining only a section of it.Campbell said council is also looking into setting up a fire station on the Eardley-Masham M Road tested positive for fecal col-iform and total coliform.If one of the eight water samples sent weekly tests positive, a boiling water advisory is sent out to the public.Shawville Denise Do we said the Québec Ministry of Environment asked that the town run more tests and issue the warning.\u201cI sent four samples on Tuesday (Sept.10) and four more samples on Wednesday,\u201d Do we said.All eight tests were returned negative from the testing lab in Montreal.\u201cIt's not necessary to boil the water anymore before drinking it,\u201d Do we said.CT Solar aquatics The solar aquatics debate has moved a bit closer to a conclu- HI i> fT / sion \u201cWe\u2019re one step closer,\u201d Campbell said at the monthly meeting Sept.10 as the motion to pay $95,000 for a final report on the cost of solar aquatics or a lagoon was passed.\u201cAs soon as Municipal Affairs approves it (the final report) and it\u2019s done, we can go to the people with it,\u201d Campbell said.He said he expects a referendum on the issue to be ready as early as December.Motion wins, loses MoP will not be looking into joining Pontiac MRC as soon as some of its councillors thought.A motion, that was originally suspended by Municipal Affairs in August because of a wording problem, was defeated at council at the Sept.10 meeting.The motion asked for members of Pontiac municipality to consult with Pontiac MRC administration about the cost of fusion.Coun.Bill Twolan.who was originally in favour, voted against the motion the second time around \"I just feel council has enough on its plate right now,\u201d he said.He cited issues such as solar aquatics and
