Why are we helping HB and South Shore Road developers? If the system is for South Shore, others who will benefit from the system should be paying their fair share as well.
The customers of Phase 1 are the 49 existing customers of the Mesachie Lake Sewer System. Phase 1 benefits Mesachie Lake sewer by resolving the current and pressing public health and environmental issues with the existing disposal fields located on Forestry Road and next to Bear Lake. It further benefits the sewer system by providing additional capacity for new customers to join. After construction is complete, new customers may join the sewer system. The costs for these new connections are not part of the project cost. New customers would be required to pay the necessary fees to join the sewer service area, as well as any costs associated with physically connecting and extending the sewer main.

The proposed 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. 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.

Future phases include the possibility of a treatment plant and further expansion of the sewer service area. If approved by the community, developments like Pebblewest and Couverdon would require sewer servicing. The developments could potentially provide a treatment plant for the sewer system and some collection infrastructure in Honeymoon Bay. Further collection infrastructure could be provided by existing properties joining the sewer system. Future phases could be funded by developers, new customers joining the sewer system, or possibly a new Honeymoon Bay sewer service area.
