More than four-million dollars sitting
in the North Okanagan Regional District's gas tax fund should be spent
servicing the Swan Lake Corridor, according to Spall's mayor. Will
Hansma says that's the recommendation of council. Hansma says the
corridor, stretching down Highway 97 between Vernon and Spall, needs a
proper sewer system to attract commercial interests. ``I think we should
get it all together and put that system in there so we can encourage
more growth along the Swan Lake corridor,'' says Hansma. ``That's what's
hindering it right now.'' He says businesses, such as the Four Squires
Pub, have to rely on holding tanks. The mayor also says a proper sewer
system would help resolve the issue of faulty septic systems. ``There're
issues with the liquid waste going into BX Creek and Swan Lake. It is
going down in there whether people like to admit it or not,'' says the
mayor. He says the project would benefit the entire region.
