“Borrowing bylaw approved for new reservoir

The three Peninsula councils —

recently sanctioned the borrowing
by the Capital Regional District of
over $4 million for new water
Teservoirs serving parts of North
Saanich.

Capital expenditures totalling
$4,219,000 is earmarked for the
construction of additional storage
capacity at the Dean Park lower
and middle reservoirs, plus new
pipelines.

The Saanich Peninsula Water
Commission approved a bylaw
authorizing the CRD to borrow the
amount on Oct. 17. The three
municipalities were required to
give their approval.

North Saanich and Central Saa-
nich councils agreed on Nov. 4,
and Sidney consented on Nov, 12.

The measure was brought for-
ward after North Saanich council
endorsed changes to its water sup-
ply service area.

The District wanted the area
revised to-include Ardmore, the
Pauquachin Indian reserve and
some properties along McTavish
Road.

North Saanich also requested
that the area lying between
McTavish Road, the Dean Park
Estates and the Dunsmuir Lodge
property be served from the Dean
Park reservoir systems.

The CRD’s engineering depart-
ment reported the lower and mid-
die Dean Park reservoirs needed
additional storage capacity and
new supply pipelines to accommo-
date the requests.

The Peninsula Water Commis-
sion approved spending
$2,919,000 for the construction of
more storage at the Dean Park
lower reservoir and a new trunk
water main.

The commission also voted for a
capital expenditure of $1,300,000
for work on the Dean Park middle
TESErvoir.

A loan authorization bylaw for
the CRD was prepared for the
$4-million plus work.

Although Sidney adopted the
bylaw earlier this month, council
also endorsed a request for a
review of the cost-sharing formula.

Acting town treasurer Brenda
Warmer told council that Sidney’s
share is almost 30 per cent.

She said she wanted to meet
with the treasurers of the other two
municipalities and the CRD to
discuss possible revisions to the
formula.

Ald. John Calder, a Sidney rep-
resentative on the water commis-
sion, noted the three municipalit-
ies share the whole water system,
and the work is designed to
increase capacity for North Saa-

nich.

However, he said “the other two
have helped us out” in the past,
and may have to again when
capacity for Sidney becomes a

* concem.

He moved that council adopt the
loan authorization bylaw. He also
presented a motion, which passed,
requesting the CRD review cost
sharing of water commission capi-
tal projects.

Concerms for the cost in Central

Saanich were explained by CRD_

representative Ald. Jack Mar, who
compared an estimated cost of $7
million for a one-million gallon
TeServoir.

» “To say it’s $1.5 million for
half-a-million gallons is a good
deal,” Mar said.

Ald. Bruce Tobin said: “It may
seem like North Saanich stands to
gain but it’s a partnership — it’s a
share and share alike situation.”
