New funding helps Lantzville sewer conversion
NANAIMO — Aging infrastructure in Lantzville is on its way out.
More than $4 million from both the provincial and federal government will help convert upwards of 300 Upper Lantzville homes from septic fields to sewer lines.
Mayor Colin Haime said they had to act quickly otherwise the town would find themselves in a smelly situation.
“With the age of the homes we were going to run into an ever increasing likelihood of failing septic fields. When that occurs the runoff comes off the properties, into the ditches and out into the ocean,” he said.
