With provincial and federal governments presently uncommitted to a bailout, exactly how Metro Vancouver households will end up paying the $3.1-billion cost overrun for the North Shore wastewater treatment plant project will be subject to “in depth” debate among board directors in the coming months, says board chair George Harvie.
Dobrovolny said the estimated cost to the “average” household in the North Shore’s three municipalities is $725 per year for the next 30 years. Taxpayers in other regions of the Lower Mainland will also have to pay more for the project, as well, in amounts ranging from $70 a year to $140 a year for 15 years.“So, right now, that is current legal process for those costs.
B.C. Premier David Eby said April 2 the provincial government will wait to see the full financial reports of the plant project before making any decisions, likening his government’s response to that of the federal government. The wastewater treatment plant has been mired in delays and construction problems, such as deficient concrete, culminating in the termination of Acciona and legal proceedings between it and Metro Vancouver.
