Owners will now have to comply by next July, unless they received an extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Property owners whose private system was installed after 2007, or who would have to spend more than $30,000 to connect, could be given a ten-year extension on a case-by-case basis. Those seeking an extension were required to provide two quotes from two separate contractors, but many have expressed frustration with the process, particularly because contractors are not compensated for quotes and many recognized that they would not be hired for the job, especially if the quote came in at more than $30,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, last November District council agreed with a staff recommendation to hire a consultant at $5,000 to determine the cost of connection for each of the individual properties seeking an exemption. But an updated report compiled by District staff on April 21, 2021 noted that the contract for the consultant had come in significantly over the budgeted amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe total award for this project was $61,958.00 (excluding HST) and will appear as an unfavourable variance as the project was originally budgeted for $5,000 in the 2021 Rate Supported Operating Budget. The original budget was insufficient as the number of properties to be evaluated was underestimated in error,\u201d it reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of the original properties identified, some have already complied, some have been granted extensions, and some were deemed exempt\u2014vacant lots and storage space, for example. The campaign generated 57 new billing accounts which, based on 2019 water and sewer rates, resulted in an additional $47,000 for the District that year, an amount that will vary annually depending on consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of April 14, 2021 there were still 213 properties that had not connected to water and\/or sewer services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium_large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2021\/06\/Screenshot-12-e1624637253596.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-99464\"\/><figcaption>A breakdown of the number of properties not connected \nto available services as of April 14, 2021 (includes properties where permits have been \nissued but connections are outstanding).<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It is still not clear how far the District will go to enforce mandatory connections but according to its amended bylaw,  passed by District council on June 21, 2021, the municipality reserves the right to make the connection on behalf of the property owner at the owner\u2019s expense.
