The purchase of the water utility by the ‘Village of Arsenic Springs’ – a.k.a. White Rock – is costing the village taxpayers in the range of $50 million, if one were to add up the city’s information published in the Peace Arch News over the past few years.
The ever-increasing annual cost of upkeep is not factored in.
The village could have tied into the GVRD water supply for approximately $22 million.
Perhaps the talking heads in charge of the insanity called city hall in this highest-taxed municipality could offer a plausible explanation of how this huge additional cost in any way benefits the taxpayers – or how the decision to do so was in the best interests of the village taxpayers?
