City makes a grab for part of Area D to resolve sewer issue KRISTEN DOUGLAS CAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR

Brenda Leigh, who represents Area D at the regional district level, said the city presented her with a $22,000 proposal – more than double what was approved at the referendum – on Oct. 11, 2011 to expand city sewer service to Area D. The regional district ultimately turned that down, citing a lack of support. “I took their proposal door-todoor and found that there was no substantial public support in Northern Area D,” Leigh said just Continued on A7
