NO DITCH DUMPING!
Please, be a good neighbour, dispose of your waste properly. Yard waste is picked up weekly at your curb. Please DO NOT throw yard waste over your back fence if you back onto Munster Road – it will distract from the beauty of our village to visitors and residents, interfere with mowing of the grass, and if the City has to clean it up you might be liable for the cost.

Recent and Future Munster Events – Save the Date By Tami Campbell
EASTER EGG HUNT UPDATE We had a great turnout for our annual Easter Egg Hunt. The weather was spectacular and for the first time in recent memory the Easter Bunny and his helpers didn’t have to hide eggs in the snow! Kids
loved choosing their own prizes from the prize table and also had fun with the Easter egg craft. The weather was just right for many kids to use the kites they won as prizes and the skies of Munster were very colourful. Hurray for spring! Thanks to Dave Tellier, Barb Moulton, Tami Campbell, Tammy Gibson and anyone who lent a hand cleaning up.

Scott Moffatt Councillor, City of Ottawa Rideau-Goulbourn Ward 613 580-2491 | RideauGoulbourn.ca
STORMWATER FEE UPDATE
Approved in 2016, there remain plenty of misconceptions being shared about the City of Ottawa's stormwater fee so I would like to take this opportunity to provide some context. In 2019, $12 million will be spent on culvert replacements, repairs and construction in the rural area, funded by the stormwater fee. Specifically, $3.8 million will be used to design and construct 42 culverts in Rideau-Goulbourn. To put that $3.8M in perspective, the stormwater fee collected $1M last year across rural Ottawa. The money collected in rural Ottawa stays in rural Ottawa and then some. I have included a comprehensive list of culvert replacements planned for 2019 below. Culverts, wet ponds and dry ponds found in rural areas are key pieces to the stormwater system – in the prevention of flooding, mitigating erosion, as well as protecting water quality in rivers, creeks, and streams.
As a refresher, the intent of the new fee was to improve how the City bills for water, wastewater and stormwater to create a fairer and more sustainable system for its residents. It recognizes the different types of services received by those in serviced areas of the City and those who rely on private wells in urban and rural Ottawa. One of the key outcomes of the new rate structure was the implementation of a new charge for stormwater services for properties that did not pay this fee.
Stormwater will be charged through a fixed rate fee to all applicable properties that benefit from stormwater service. For connected properties, this fee was previously included in the sewer surcharge rate for connected properties. Therefore, if you have always received a water and/or sewer bill, you have always been paying for this and nothing changes significantly except for that other residents are now sharing the cost. Properties that do not receive a water utility bill see the stormwater fee on their property tax bill instead.
Historically, all properties were paying for stormwater either on their water bill or as a tax levy, or a combination of the two. In 2001, 100% of the fee was moved to the water utility bill as part of the sewer surcharge, meaning that only connected properties that received a water bill contributed to stormwater management funding. For those connected to the City water system, the fee was charged based on water consumption. However, stormwater services are not affected by how much water you consume and nearly everyone benefits from stormwater infrastructure, even those not connected to City water.
The implementation of the new rate structure started in May 2017 when non-connected properties first saw a new stormwater charge on their final tax bills. It was planned that the stormwater charge would be phased in over four years to allow non-connected property owners time to adjust. In 2017, owners paid 25% of the fee, they paid 50% in 2018, will pay 75% in 2019 and by 2020 non-connected properties will be paying 100% of the fee. As promised, here is the list of planned culvert replacements in Rideau-Goulbourn:

MUNSTER BEAUTIFICATION This year the Munster Community Association (MCA) will be initiating some projects to enhance the landscaping in Munster. The area being concentrated on will be the boulevards along Munster Side Road and Bleeks Road. The first step in refreshing these areas involves the enforcing of the Ottawa City by-laws that prohibits advertising signs on public property. We would like to invite those businesses affected to contact the MCA at [email protected] if they would like to advertise in our phonebook, newsletter and or website.
The next step will be adding some colour. Stay tuned for more developments as they become finalized.
Planting new ideas at Farm Camp!
Saunders Farm is a real, working farm that has just happened to welcome more than 1 million guests to play, learn, and grow with us. We grow much of the food we serve to our guests, the pumpkins we sell in the fall, and the trees we use to shape the landscape of our property! At Farm Camp, each camper will have the opportunity to plant their very own vegetables or flowers, depending on what we choose to grow each week, and throughout their time on the Farm they'll get to watch their seed sprout AND enjoy a delicious Farm Fresh lunch each day with some of the same produce. At the end of the week, they'll take it home to re-plant in their own garden!

PLEASE YIELD WHEN YOU SEE A GREEN LIGHT COMING YOUR WAY Ottawa’s rural communities are served by 470 volunteer firefighters. Through the Green Light program, volunteer firefighters are equipped with green flashing lights for their personal vehicles. When you see a green light flashing from a driver’s vehicle, it means the driver is a volunteer firefighter responding to an emergency. Please yield the road to these vehicles with green flashing lights. This may mean pulling over, if it is safe to do so, to allow the vehicle to pass. Volunteer firefighters responding to an emergency typically need to drive their personal vehicles to a nearby fire station. Pulling over when you see a firefighter’s green light can have a big impact because every second counts.
