From: Andy Shadrack [mailto:ashadra@telus.net] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2014 2:19 PM To: John Kettle Cc: Hans Cunningham; Ramona Faust; Garry Jackman Subject: Critique: Best Practice Guidelines for Approving New Small Water Systems

Kaslo Wednesday, March 5th Chair, below please find a critique of the UBCM's Small Water System Working Group paper entitled The Best Practice Guidelines for Approving New Small Water Systems. With the assistance of Directors Faust and Jackman this critique is presented to you for consideration by the RDCK Board, with the recommendation that the Board ask the UBCM Executive to circulate it to all Regional Districts and EA Directors in the province. I would also request that the Rural Affairs Committee make an informal review prior to the Board considering it. The financial implications of the RDCK taking on responsibility for the design, development and long term management of all the current and future proposed Nano (2 - 4 connections) and some Micro (5-24 connections) water systems is incalculable. What each Municipal Director at the Board needs to consider, if this download were to come to pass, is that a much larger proportion of rural property tax assessment, much like the province's tax revenue requirement for Health Care, would have to be used to manage water systems, and therefore would not be available for other rural services and joint municipal-rural services. ************************************************ Critique of The Best Practice Guidelines for Approving New Small Water Systems. In the fall of 2010 the UBCM Executive struck the Small Water Systems Working Group (SWSWG) as a means to try to find common ground in what had become a stand-off over water treatment in small water systems throughout British Columbia. The issues were: Lack of orderly development: A refusal to grant construction permits by Health Authorities, prohibiting infrastructure improvement, until expensive treatment systems were installed. Paradoxically some poor water tests originated as a result of old and decaying water delivery systems or poor headwater protection but inflexibility from Health Authorities prevented communities from addressing these issues by requiring them to install expensive treatment infrastructure before fixing the distribution and water quality intake issues. Scale: The lack of flexible solutions for small systems, wells, consortiums and small subdivisions.

193


Fairness: Lack of equality between what was being required of Nano (2-4 connections), Micro (5-24 connections) and Small (25-124 connections) systems versus requirements for government facilities such as hospitals and schools which have single barrier or on-site treatment plants and restaurants. Different standards within the province’s health authorities regarding Point-of-Entry (POE) and Point-of-Use (POU) treatment for small water systems where central treatment was cost prohibitive, and a consistent refusal to cede that legal liability could be transferred to the individual homeowner where no legal water purveyor existed. Testing requirements: Without provincial government support, testing requirements for Nano, Micro and some Small systems could reach upwards of $14,000 per year. To address some of these issues the SWSWG created a sub-committee that has reported out with a document entitled The Best Practice Guidelines for Approving New Small Water Systems. It begins by explaining that: "...decisions...made 20 or 30 years ago when the system was created, may limit the ability of the system to provide safe and reliable drinking water...[and they] have not had the organizational or financial resources to meet new requirements" (p 4). At page 6 the document asks: What is a "small water system"? The text then goes on to state: "These BPGs have been created to address issues that arise with the approval of a new "small water system", meaning any new, small drinking water system serving more than a single residence." The footnote to this text then goes on to state: The Drinking Water Protection Regulation defines a small system as "a water supply system that serves up to 500 individuals during any 24 hour period". There is currently some consideration being given to potential changes to this definition. While the SWSWG, in its recommendations paper, uses an appropriate concept for better defining sub-classes of small water system, including Nano and Micro, it falls short in addressing how these two sub-categories are currently organized and governed in BC, and in discussing how their maintenance and operations could be managed in the future.

194


Under the jurisdiction of the Interior Health Authority (IHA), for example, there are some 1,900 identified systems - of which 1,800 are designated small under current Drinking Water Protection Regulations (DWPR) (Norlin email, November 29th, 2013). In an earlier discussion at the December 2010 SWSWG meeting the then head of IHA's Health Protection branch identified 1,100 water systems as having 13 connections or less. In accordance with recommendations proposed by SWSWG, that means that 57.9% of all systems under IHA jurisdiction would be either Nano (2-4 connections) or Micro (5-24 connections), and according to the IHA's latest analysis 94.7% of the systems they have identified are designated Small. With this kind of statistical assessment the first question that might arise is to ask whether the IHA area is unique in having identified this number of small water systems. According to the 2011 Canada Census, eight Regional Districts have population densities of less than 1 residence per square kilometer, of which 6 are in the north or on the northern coast, 1 in the central interior and 1 on Vancouver Island. At an Electoral Area and District Municipality organizational level, some 92 jurisdictions have densities of less than 1; 29 less than .1, 17 less than .2 and 23 less than .5. An additional 45 jurisdictions have densities of less than 5 per square kilometer. The sum of these represents 68.1% of all Electoral Areas in the province. Clearly then the Interior Health Authority experience is not an isolated one. In the summer of 2012 the planning departments within the three Regional Districts of the Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Governments (AKBLG) were contacted to determine the typical size of subdivisions built over the last decade. Ninety-four percent of all subdivision approvals were for 2 to 9 lots, 4% for 10 to 24 and 2% for 25 or over. Further, in the summer of 2013, the Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK), as an example, reported that it had only approved one subdivision over 10 lots in that calendar year. So the second question that has to be asked of the Guidelines is why, if this is a go forward document, would it also not begin by determining the size of subdivisions being built in Electoral Areas across BC. Without that kind of analysis it is impossible to propose solutions, when one obviously does not know the scope and extent of the problem being faced? In Area D of the Regional District Central Kootenay (RDCK), as an example, there are in excess of 18 unincorporated communities, sub-divisions and hamlets scattered across approximately 5,786 square kilometres. The population density, at .244 persons per square kilometre and .175 residences per square kilometre, is denser than most of the remote and rural northern BC Electoral Areas. The largest water system, however, outside of one served by the Village of Kaslo, has only 52 working connections. Here it is also noted that the Guidelines do not discuss the range in size of lots currently being used for residential and recreational residences. In some parts of the Kootenays there is a proliferation of small property parcels, whereas in other remote and rural areas there are large ranch-style holdings. It will therefore be almost impossible for local government, with limited to no powers (and other agencies), to encourage landowners on thousands of remote and rural

195


parcels to consolidate themselves into an urban or suburban model of water treatment and delivery. Yet we read under the heading of Long Range Land Use Planning at p 12, under "How the BPG addresses the issue" the following:: By concentrating development in specific areas, these plans should effectively eliminate the proliferation of small, unsustainable water systems. Such an approach to the existence of and creation of future Nano and Micro small water systems, rather than focusing on affordable ways for householders to treat their water, simplistically proposes to eliminate (their words) proliferation of all small and unsustainable water systems effectively writing off the experience of 68.1% of all the Electoral Areas in the province. This sentiment is underscored by the immediately previous sentence which states that: Local governments can significantly improve the sustainability of development by establishing long range land use plans that direct and concentrate future developments to identified "village" areas and protect rural areas How, one must ask, will Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) Approving Officers and Regional Districts deal with citizens who own lots outside of these "residential zones"? Are the Guidelines proposing that the owners of pre-existing residential lots in remote rural areas of British Columbia will no longer be allowed to build on these lots, even as vacation properties, unless they only have individual wells or surface water intakes? Even earlier in this section, again at page 12, is the statement that: "Very small communities are up against multiple challenges with respect to water service provision, including financial constraints, an inability to achieve economies of scale, and difficulty recruiting and retaining qualified staff". Beyond the cost of drilling a well or installing an intake, building a distribution box and laying a pipe, what is it that constrains a Nano and Micro system...indeed all small systems? Where are the economies of scale applied in large systems? It is the added cost of treatment and more recently improving the treatment of the water. With larger systems the more people on them, the lower the per household cost of treating the water with a centralized system. Few, if any, of these Nano and Micro systems, can afford to recruit staff, let alone retain them. In contrast to large systems, Nano and Micro systems in particular are often a loose agglomeration of family, friends and neighbours, in which there is usually a common intake, distribution box and possibly a main line. Spur lines, especially once they reach large rural properties, are the sole responsibility of the property owner. Further, unlike many large urban connections on smaller systems, less than 10% of the water intake is for human consumption. Treating water outside of the residence or residences on a property makes absolutely no sense and is cost prohibitive. Further complicating matters in many remote and rural areas of BC, non-

196


resident ownership is now sometimes in excess of 50% of the properties, as former permanent residences are now used primarily for recreation and as vacation rentals. Thus, beyond the lack of economies of scale is added the issue of lack of permanent governance as well. Paramount must be the question that in the absence of a truly collective entity and funds to sustain it, is there anything that can be done to improve water quality and potability in the home? The only response of the Guidelines is to say, on page 12: Under these types of plans, most new developments would, by design, be serviced via the expansion of an existing community water system, or by individual wells/lake intakes. If a new water system were to be warranted, it would be (or would have the potential to be) relatively large and therefore, have a better chance at being sustainable. This kind of response is likely appropriate where the density of residences is 5 per square kilometer and higher, and where subdivision growth and infilling next to urban communities is the experience. It does not address, however, the kind of response needed in remote and rural BC where very small subdivisions, hamlets and communities are scattered across the landscape and separated by mountain passes, etc, etc. In some of these communities a variety of water systems arise around several streams, a well or lake intake, as there is no one system that can meet the entire community's needs. The initial decision to build small discrete water systems clustered around a small stream or well is, in and of itself, a sustainable action, in that no single water source is then tapped out by a "municipal style water supply" built for the whole community. Rather, Nano and Micro systems are designed to consume discrete amounts of water and are much more easily managed during a drought than a community-wide system from a single small water source. Thus, again, the Guidelines do not appropriately look at geography and source supply availability when it comes to Nano and Micro systems, and yet these are the majority of small systems in, for example, the IHA jurisdiction. It also fails to ask the question: if 94% of the approved subdivisions over the last decade are for nine lots or fewer, what impact will banning or discouraging the building of subdivisions of less than, say, twenty-five lots have on the rural housing industry? Is it even legal to say that subdivisions cannot be built below a certain size? And/or do we only want a proliferation of single wells and single lot water intakes below twenty-five lot subdivisions? Fortunately, as far back as the 1930's, an alternative to use of mass disinfection of the water supply was developed, so that today individual residences can either treat their water whole house or at a single point of consumption. Known as Point-of-Entry (POE) and Point-of-Use (POU), the only achievable economy of scale would come in the bulk buying of each treatment unit. These household treatment systems are relatively easy to install by a certified plumber, or by someone who maintains their own water system, and simple to maintain with filter cartridge and bulb replacement specifications readily available. This brings treatment options to the household level - an essential ingredient where no legal entity and/or true collective water purveyor exists.

197


Sadly, after nearly nine years of legally allowing these systems to exist under the DWPR, only 14 agreements for their use apparently exist province-wide. One agreement signed in September, 2013 does, for the first time, acknowledge the role to be played by individual property owners and households in operating and maintaining these individual treatment systems. As their use becomes more widespread, it is anticipated that small rural service companies may arise that would allow rural and remote homeowners to contract their maintenance for a small fee. This would be much like the septic pumping services that have arisen around the province. The question remains, however: are we simply going to legislate and regulate Nano and Micro systems out of existence or are we going to allow individual property owners and households living on or desirous of building such systems the right to be responsible for making their own water inside their homes potable? As stated earlier nearly 60% of the identified small water systems in the IHA area are Nano or Micro and this fact, when coupled to the knowledge that 94% of all rural subdivisions being built in south east BC are nine lots or less, should give cause to ponder what is being proposed in the Guidelines document. Further, many small water system users are already fearful of contacting Health Authorities, whom they perceive as being authoritarian, unhelpful and obstructive, when trying to find affordable ways of improving water quality and potability. In this context the Guidelines, rather than supporting taxpayers, come across as being designed to divvy up how various provincial ministries, agencies and local governments will deny landowners, developers and homeowners easy-to-understand regulations when building small water systems: "...at each of these points, regulating authorities have the ability to withhold approval if certain conditions are not met.� Considering the fact that many local governments have subdivision bylaws which require proof of potable water, this statement is unnecessarily threatening. Trust and fairness will not be achieved under any matrix of responsibilities, as long as a health engineer and/or drinking water officer retain the absolute power to arbitrarily overrule the reasoned decision of a homeowner, developer and water purveyor. Clearly there is a need to be able to send permit disputes and water treatment requirements to some form of mediation and arbitration by a body set up to protect the public interest from arbitrary and capricious decisions. In subsequently reviewing specific sections of the Guidelines it is noted that Appendix A of the SWSWG UBCM Recommendations Paper to the BC provincial government specifically states that Nano (2-4 connections) systems will be exempt from most Drinking Water Protection Act (DWPA) requirements and all Water Utility Act requirements, and that these systems cannot become a Water User Community and will have no financial oversight from other agencies. Micro (5-24 connections) systems would be exempt from some DWPA requirements, but all Water Utility Act and Strata Property Act requirements would apply, and Water User Community requirements under the Water Act could apply where applicable. Page 12: Local governments are given eight responsibilities, Health Authorities one, Comptroller of Water Rights one, Provincial Approving Officers two and Ministry of Community Services none. This begs the question as to whether or not the province will be

198


providing local governments with the financial resources, on an ongoing basis, to take on these additional responsibilities from the Health Authorities and others for all Nano and some Micro systems. Page 14: the text states: Building bylaws create an opportunity for a formal point of contact with local governments, which could result in fewer small water systems being developed "under the radar"...The building bylaw, therefore gives local governments an opportunity to impose design and construction standards for new water systems even if subdivision is not involved This statement transfers the onus for design control and construction standards from the Health Authority to local government, when the relationship should be between the developer/builder/homeowner and the Health Authority. Local government can adopt guidelines developed by Health Authorities, however the usual reference point by local government with regard issuance of building permits requires the developer/homeowner to provide proof of Health Authority or Comptroller of Water rights approval. Why change this? Page 15: Local governments are given six responsibilities, Health Authorities one, Comptroller of Water Rights none, Provincial Approving Officers two and Ministry of Community Services none. This again begs the question as to whether or not the province will be providing local governments with the financial resources, on an ongoing basis, to take on these additional responsibilities from the Health Authorities and others for all Nano and some Micro systems. Further, with regard requests for local government to adopt zoning in all areas, it should be noted that in Electoral Areas the public has the right under the Local Government Act to refuse Official Community Plans and Zoning. While approving officers may consider the public interest in approving new subdivisions in such areas, there is no guidance on dealing with existing systems and their need to upgrade their systems in an affordable manner. Page 18: the text states: While health authorities oversee the design of all new water systems and the Comptroller of Water Rights oversees (in conjunction with the health authority) the design of all new private utilities, not all local governments have up-to-date design standards for community water systems In the preceding sentence the text also states: Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for existing small water systems to have issues due to substandard design and construction practices. It has to be asked again: why are local governments now being tasked with taking up an issue and responsibility that has, up until now, been the jurisdiction of Health Authorities and the Comptroller of Water Rights? The design and construction standards of the day, whether undertaken by professionals and/or knowledgeable lay persons, were the design and construction

199


practices of the day. Where subsequent health needs have been verified, action to upgrade as replacement of infrastructure is undertaken is merited. This, especially for Nano and Micro systems, is likely to only happen if access to capital funding is made available to assist these systems in being upgraded. This constant pressure to create higher and higher standards as a means to avoid "legal risk" needs to be measured against the potentiality for a disease outbreak or illness to occur, especially in remote rural and isolated locations. If we ran the Health Care system, in general, the way these Guidelines are written, it is likely that we would bankrupt the taxpayers of BC. There needs to be a balance between what is feasible and affordable and the risk of waterborne illness and disease. Encouraging boiling the water in some extremely remote and rural locations would be a good first step and sharing how Nano and Micro systems are adopting leading edge techniques in water treatment would be a second. The Gar Creek Water Users Association in Johnson's Landing, for example, faced with constant power failures, are considering borrowing cost-effective backup technology supplied to the Amish communities in the United States, who use UV treatment and filtration without being on the electrical grid. Only by creatively working with Nano and Micro water system users will we as local government and regulators assist them in attaining sustainable potable water. Page 19 begins to convey additional responsibility to local government for design guidelines and consultation with Health Authorities and the Water Comptroller’s Office. While a level of consultation currently takes place, this recommendation puts responsibility on local government for matters that require a level of expertise which often resides in the private sector and are usually conducted between the developer and professionals. Page 21: How the BPG addresses these issues. The solution to the problem identified in “Issues addressed by the BPG� with regard to the success of proposed new systems is intrusive, and its application can be subjective and punitive without a scalable ranking system. Having Health Authorities second guess governance, which is not their jurisdiction at all, and finance is going beyond a reasonable mandate and leads to supposition. Page 22: Local governments cannot expect an applicant to have pre-thought water system operators, and conceptual servicing financial and governance issues, at a rezoning exercise. The appropriate entity, the Health Authority, and MOTI should have that conversation with regard to subdivision requirements at their earliest point of contact. Page 25, BPG #5: Local governments cannot continue to absorb all of the new systems created. Bullet 2 under Health Authorities and bullet 2 under Comptroller of Water Rights and bullet 1 under Approving Officer should be deleted. In the Kootenay area there are hundreds of surface water users and, given the subdivision history, there will be more independent systems. Regional districts do not have the capacity to continue to administer an ongoing plethora of old and new systems. The staffing component and workspace requirements are unrealistic. These systems must be seen as autonomous and there must be a recognition that with Nano and Micro Systems, where no legal entity exists, empowerment to transfer responsibility for water quality and potability to the individual property owner and residence is a viable option to

200


be considered. Page 28: Strike Local Government bullet 4. This will stymie development in rural areas. Strike bullet 2 under Comptroller of Water Rights Appendix A. Table A 1., Water Quality Regulatory Context: The entire page reinforces the subjectivity of the current system, does not have a science based criteria, eludes the Canadian Safe Drinking Water Guidelines and ties potable water to an unreliable microbial marker. Local governments cannot develop design criteria for construction of water systems. This is the job of engineers in the private sector as design criteria will be specific to the wide range of source water and size of system. If local governments start enshrining design and construction standards in bylaws, a lengthy process, we will invariably be behind the curve of innovation and new technology, effectively limiting Nano and Micro, all small water system users to "last year's solutions". A simple prescription that the water needs to achieve potability would be the best prescription for these two categories of water systems and all small water systems, and then leave it up to the individual homeowner to determine how to achieve that if they want to use POE and POU as their option. Certification of Officers: This section in its entirety should not apply to Nano and Micro systems and there should be no discretion on the part of the Drinking Water Officer to request conditions more stringent than the DWPA and DWPR. This is cost prohibitive if taken out of context and having one or two people trained per system should suffice. Perhaps a lower level of certification can be developed. The most profound problem with this document is that many in the general public still do not see the need to disinfect water, as it has been drunk raw in their communities for a hundred years or more. They do not see that there is a health issue and if individual homeowners are concerned they have already installed filters and treatment units in their homes. There is a particular revulsion over use of chlorine that has been a barrier to discussing the need for treatment. The current regulations are seen as overbearing, overly complex and many would be shocked to know the cost and intricacy of the required systems. If the provincial government wants to proceed down the Guidelines path they may want to invest in an expensive public information campaign, as the various EA Directors and Regional Districts should not take the fall for the financial burden that this document will create for local government. This document offers no relief for existing systems that might seek Health Authority approval to upgrade their works, and yet this was a driving issue for development of the Small Water System Working Group. Unlike the Recommendations Paper of the SWSWG, the Guidelines appear as a disconnected promotion of large subdivisions which are largely unwanted and not appropriate in many remote and rural areas of BC. It trespasses on the right of owners to use their properties as their economic interests require in the case of small water system approval. For the most part many of the recommendations will promote good practices in finance and planning prior to development, but the flaws are fatal ones. Regional Districts may see a rise in people not applying for building permits to avoid the issue of water treatment altogether.

201


The financial implications for Regional Districts across BC taking on responsibility for the design, development and long term management of all the current and future proposed Nano (2 4 connections) and Micro (5-24 connections), all small water systems is incalculable. What each Electoral Area Director and the Municipal Directors of Regional District Boards need to consider, if this proposed download were to come to pass, is that a much larger proportion of rural property tax assessment, much like the province's tax revenue requirement for Health Care, would have to be used to manage water systems, and therefore would not be available for other rural services and joint municipal-rural services. We therefore ask the UBCM Executive to ensure that this critique be forwarded to every Electoral Area Director and Regional District Board in the province for their consideration.
