The Sechelt sewage plant and where it will be going fight with city hall has just started.
As Winston Churchill said, "This the not the end. Not even the beginning of the end."
I think the biggest question about the Ebbtide greenhouse outside its double cost, is what are they going to do in detail with the biosolids?
It is easy to deal with the wastewater to some degree, but the most difficult process is the heavy stuff, the biosolids. What new technology does Veolia have for dealing with the biosolids? Are they going to shovel it out by hand and truck it up to upper levels? Pump it or what? Is there enough sunlight in the sea level Ebbtidemarsh to grow anything? Does grass grow there? They will get late sun in the morning and lose sunshine early because of the housing and trees all around. This is in the summer time. What about the wintertime with almost no sun? Will they turn on costly grow lights year round? The taxpayers paid $50,000 for the companies that made the bids and that's what is done these days, but we the taxpayers need to see what we paid for. What was the high bid and the low bid and the technology? Why is council not transparent with the public on our money? We are a small town and we need public forums before any of these costly projects are started.
Council decides on their own and then announce what they did and then they defend what they did after the fact.
