Re: “Victoria’s CRD directors shortsighted on sewage,” letter, April 9.
Before the Viewfield site in Esquimalt was considered for the Capital Regional District biosolids treatment facility, the City of Victoria actively looked at three locations within the city boundaries.
The City of Victoria recognizes it has a responsibility to consider hosting regional services that benefit all citizens of this area.
We also saw an opportunity for the local community to use resource recovery to drive green development.
Unfortunately, none of these sites were suitable due to cost or land-rights issues.
