Graham Lake Water Treatment Costs and Rate Increase

infrastructure · 2023 · Graham Lake Improvement District

The Graham Lake Improvement District, now part of CVRD, faces high long-term costs for a new water treatment plant despite a $1.3 million grant. Homeowners may face charges up to $4,400 yearly. An interim rate increase to $1,600 per year has been authorized to address escalating costs and water line replacements.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
