Re: Metro Vancouver rejects significant cost sharing on $2.8B North Shore sewage plant overrun
Dear Editor,
We are retired residents within the City of North Vancouver and pay property taxes. We are still reeling from the news of the impending levy to cover the sewage treatment fiasco.
We appreciate the reduced levy (from $725 for 30 years to $590), but we are frustrated that this levy must be borne solely by households.
We believe this unique situation needs a unique solution, not just adding more onto already steep home taxes.
Toilets abound in many buildings, not just homes. They are in restaurants, offices, schools, hospitals, and all other commercial buildings.
How about a toilet levy versus a household levy?
