CSWVA offered to fund a million dollar pipeline* themselves,
but reject economical onsite in-home treatment as being financially "impossible."

• "The Municipality recently confirmed that if the CSWVA residents build and pay for a water main pipeline extension to service our area, then the District of Central Saanich would approve the connection..."
  
  
• "possibility of home size water treatment plants. Such a solution, which many residents have personal experience and failure with, was rejected as being impossible technically and financially."
  
  (*Note: a private watermain already exists.)

• CSWVA: "costs dictate" the route run along Mount Newton Crossroad.
• CSWVA: a waterline along West Saanich, through Tsartlip would be 7% cheaper.
• CSWVA re: Routing through Tsartlip reserve (along West Saanich) "favourable, particularly with regard to cost"
