Editorial: Let them have their sewer

Stand-off between Anmore and Anmore Green has gone on long enough
Anmore
Time to get that septic field cleaned up at Anmore Green as the province is now stepping into the issue.

Anmore can no longer ignore the problems at Anmore Green.

True, the estate’s leaky septic system is the responsibility of the homeowners, but they are willing to pay to hook up to Metro Vancouver’s sewer system.

What is the hold up? Why are Eagle Mountain students being held hostage in this stand off?

Anmore is worried that it might be forced to hook up, too, but the village has been told that this doesn’t have to be the case, and with the province now involved, surely this can be settled.

Anmore has steadfastly maintained its independence from Metro Vancouver’s sewage system, arguing its residents prefer to maintain their own septic systems rather than fork out for the cost of joining the regional system.

Let them keep their own waste. But please, Anmore, it’s time to sign off on the deal to allow Anmore Green residents to do the right thing and hook up to regional sewer.
