Concerns Raised Over GLID Water Project and Rates

infrastructure · March 2023 · GLID service area, Denman Island

Issues with the GLID water project were discussed, including lack of clear deadlines, inadequate project management, and high projected water rates of $4,400 per year for 20 years for under 100 household connections. Local CVRD Director Daniel Arbour has put a hold on the project. A steering committee and better project fundamentals are recommended.

• “A big thank you to Daniel Arbour (elected Director, CVRD District A) who recently put a “stop-hold” to the madness... The CVRD $4,400 dollar per year water rates for 20 years will not be celebrated by the new service area landowner... The new owner-operator (CVRD) was never the lottery ticket or magic wand to make it all disappear.” — The Islands Grapevine – March 2nd, 2023 (March 2nd, 2023)
