During the August 14, 2013 CRD Board meeting. Jack Hull P.Eng., project director at the time, said that "the capacity of Dockside Green is 190 m^3/day. When you divide that into the capacity of the McLoughlin faculty which is 107,800 m^3/day, you get 567 is the factor and at $4M you get over 2 billion dollars” Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eczrKdTOQZc
Staff and engineers are supposed to provide unbiased material to the policy makers and they should present the whole picture. This expert just said it would cost 2 billion dollars to replicate Dockside Green and service the core area. He was off by a billion.
The public is welcome to arrange for a tour of Dockside any time. When you visit you can confirm the following:
Yes, the capital cost for the waste water treatment plant is about $4 million.
Yes the plant currently handles 190 m^3/day.
For an additional cost of $150,000 they can double the capacity to 380 m^3/day.
The engineer responsible for giving the CRD board expert information made a billion dollar mistake.
And this example includes more mistakes but we've proven the point already.
