~NEW SEWERAGE PLAN
GOING TO GOVERNMENT

The revised Central Saa-
nich sewerage plan will be
submitted to the provincial
government. for approval |
this week, said Mayor
A.M. Galbraith on Mon-
day. .

Major change since the
original scheme was de-
feated in a referendum
last December is that pro-
perty owners in the areas
not to be sewered will be
required to pay a $12 per.
annum parcel. charge
toward. financing the
sewer utility. .

As a result of consulta-
tions: between the sewer-
age advisory committee of

_| council and ‘the Farmers’

Association it has been.
agreed that individual
farmers shall pay only one |

- parcel charge in respect of |

their properties.
