What will our new utility costs be in total? We are already paying $300 plus per year for sewer services, we need to be able to budget for these expenses on fixed incomes.
The exact costs will be determined by the borrowing term, to be chosen by the customers of the system at the public meeting. The impact of rate increases in order to meet standards is a concern to CVRD staff. Mesachie Lake sewer is a very small system, making it cost prohibitive to meet increasingly demanding standards.

Locating the disposal field between Mesachie Lake and Honeymoon Bay would be the first step towards a centrally located sewer system with the potential to serve more customers in and around Mesachie Lake and Honeymoon Bay. A larger system, with more customers, is more economical and efficient to operate and maintain, and lowers the individual customer cost.

After Phase 1, new customers may join the sewer system. The costs for these new connections are not part of the project cost. New customers would be required to pay the necessary fees to join the sewer service area, as well as any costs associated with physically connecting and extending the sewer main.
