I expect we will be in a position to identify that piece of land and details from public engagement.” Hamilton, co-chair of Westside Solutions, said a combination of public feedback and presented information has her leaning towards a multi-plant option. However, she said many variables are yet to be determined. A major step is taking a closer look at potential costs for the various options, to be presented on Dec. 2. “I really do think we need some-

Carol Hamilton … favours a multi-plant solution.
The Capital Regional District’s sewage treatment discussions now appear to be centred around the what, rather than the when. A week after the CRD’s consulta-
tion team and technical oversight panel presented options for everything from one to seven sewage plants, public consultation is on the menu as work continues to hit a Jan. 27 deadline to decide which option to choose. “We will have narrowed it down to the preferred site or sites; right now it is in a loose group and narrowing down has taken place in order to go out and get bids on construction on whatever is recommended,” Colwood mayor and CRD director Carol Hamilton said. “We need to
