| The Building Ban

The ban on construction in Brentwood and its
. Surroundings was ordered by Central Saanich councii
~ With obvious reluctance. Faced with the shattering

that council should have acted otherwise.

Excepted from the edict are premises serviced

‘by holding tanks which may be pumped out monthly.

Presumably the School District will make arrange-
ments accordingly, but the method is obviously toa
‘expensive for the homeowner to consider. A further
exception to the general ban allows for work on
‘bulldings where no plumbing is involved.

The health hazard in Brentwood is perhaps graver
than has been realized but it is not a new situation,
Since 1963 the reports of the sanitary authority have
indicated malfunctioning septic tanks and the pollution
of ditches and recreational waters.

Successive municipal councils have realized the
danger of an epidemic and have taken such action as
was within their power but with a singular lack of
guidance and assistance by superior authorities.

Mayor A.M, Galbraith has assured council that the
current $1,990,000 sewerage scheme is being pro-
cessed with some degree of urgency. Even so,
two summers may elapse before the svstem is in
the ground. He has said also that an assessment
of the cost factor is a cause of delay in approval of
the ptysical plan.

Particulars of the cost structure are indeed awaited
by the ratepayers with concern It is hoped that the
prosperity of the province will be reflected in more

Dear Sir;

For years I have been prom-

something that just has: to be
answered. This, fine. it ig: the.
that’ “the brentwood:

While .in Victoria I had the
Opportunity. to’ look into the al-
leged septic tank problem | in
Brentwood. In.every case of
complaint that I checked the
trouble was faulty installation,

“not anything peculiar or mys-

terious about Brentwood soil.

I found a whole hillside — ia
Brentwood, where the builders
of the houses had actually cut
across the drainage System, thus
trapping the surface and ground
water in the area behind the
houses where the . septic tank
dtsposal.. fields were installed,
Naturally these systems’ failed.
It is inviting failure in a septic
tank system te pipe large quant-
ities of water into it. There
were also installations where
disposal fields were not being
used, the septic tank effluent
being simply piped to the road-
side ditch. Ani there were
many esumples of the common
installation error of laying the
pipes in the disposal theld with
