Rural Lumby and Cherryville residents are being asked to support a new way of disposing of septic

NORD currently operates a septic treatment and disposal facility in Vernon. It is funded by septic users in Vernon, Coldstream, Spallumcheen and rural Enderby. The request from Foisy and Fairbairn to join the function will go before the NORD board Wednesday for consideration. To officially join the function, the existing participants must agree as must the residents of Areas D and E. Foisy is confident his constituents will back the plan. “If we pay as outsiders to use it, it will be two-and-a-half times the rate (if they belonged to the service),” he said. Presently, a parcel tax of $23 a year is charged to all properties on septic in the member communities to fund the service. Foisy believes the addition of Areas D and E will benefit the treatment service. “It helps the Vernon plant because there will be more material to make it pay (operate the facility),” he said. Until Areas D and E officially join the function, NORD is also being asked to accept waste from those areas on an interim basis
