Treatment system proposed to prevent 'Ukee brown water days'

Treatment system proposed to prevent 'Ukee brown water days'

Ucluelet residents are being asked to approve borrowing up to $13 million for a new water-treatment system for the community of slightly more than 2,000 on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The goal is to put an end to what’s known locally as “Ukee brown water days.” Council will be permitted to borrow the money unless 10 per cent of electors fill out a form in opposition.
