Why is the line going to HB and not staying here? If the grant is for Mesachie, why not keep it in Mesachie?
The land for the disposal field, located south-east of Honeymoon Bay, is intended to be given to the CVRD by Couverdon (Timberwest), as a community amenity arising from their development proposal. At approximately 20 acres (or 8 hectares), the proposed site is large enough to provide adequate disposal capacity. Locating the disposal field between Mesachie Lake and Honeymoon Bay would be the first step towards a centrally located sewer system with the potential to serve more customers in and around Mesachie Lake and Honeymoon Bay. A larger system, with more customers, is more economical and efficient to operate and maintain, and lowers the individual customer cost.
The land for the new disposal field must be large enough to provide adequate capacity and suitable for the disposal of septic tank effluent. In order to locate the disposal field at an alternate property closer to Mesachie Lake, an alternate site with these qualities would have to be found and the land would have to be purchased. The cost to purchase land would have to be funded from the customers of the system, as funding from the grant cannot be used to purchase land. This option would be more expensive, as both the land purchase and the remaining share of the project (17%) would have to be paid by the customers of the system.

Additionally, this option may require amendment to the grant terms, as proximity to Honeymoon Bay and the potential servicing of additional customers was a factor in the approved grant request. This option may negate the awarded $1.23 million from the CCWF.
