Horse Lake Water Treatment Alternative Approval Process

The Alternative Approval Process (AAP) for the Horse Lake Water Treatment Plant has now concluded.

During the AAP period, electors in the Horse Lake service area had the opportunity to submit Elector Response Forms indicating opposition to the proposed borrowing bylaw.

The AAP was successful, as fewer than 10% of eligible electors submitted forms in opposition.

The loan authorization bylaw has now been adopted, which allows the Cariboo Regional District to move forward with borrowing to support improvements to the Horse Lake Water System.

The borrowing will be repaid over a 10-year period. For connected properties, this is estimated to add approximately $127.86 per parcel per year, bringing the total parcel tax to approximately $299.08 annually.

The project will now move forward to the next stages of planning and implementation.
