I'd highly recommend watching the report from CAO Bob MacPherson regarding the sewer treatment plant. during the August 11 meeting. Nobody in their right mind would accept such a presentation and demand answers from this guy.
Surely no one ever believed that the DOT would be capable of financing and building a sewer treatment plant, are you kidding me? Sadly way beyond their collective abilities. I am so grateful that no one is to blame and that they suddenly didn't want to overburden the taxpayers!
Brutal incompetence at the DOT. Well-paid firmly-entrenched senior staff - and the next election years away. It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
Everyone can't forget previous incompetence by council and district staff when, years ago, a sewer system grant was not applied for and that was when the system was going to cost about $10,000,000. We must have hired relatives of those who were incompetent at that time.
It's high time the district forgets about doing something they don't know how to do. Give the project over to some of the big construction companies who will design build and operate the system using the knowledge and experience they already have to do something they know how to do. The cost to the district is in the utility rates which past councils were reluctant to entertain fearing utility rates would be excessive. That would be nothing compared to the enormous costs for the district to keep on attempting to do something they don't know how to do. Meanwhile the costs escalate every year and we still don't have a hope in hell of getting it done.

Interesting that no one's to blame, says the CAO - least of all, him.
just in time for the sewer pump stations to start stinking...its the smell of all that money
Nobody in the district is even to blame for their actions. The Gibson heights gang strikes again!
