I agree I wonder how many residents who signed that petition actually knew what they were signing up for and that there would be a cost associated to having water run to their home even though they have a fully functioning well from what I’m reading minimal cost is $30,000 per household up to what is being shown in this article of $100,000 for someone who owns larger property that is never going to be developed at this time. People are struggling today to put food on their table clothes on their kids pay their day-to-day expenses, including a mortgage or rent and now you want to turn around and force people to put water to their home when it’s not required. This council needs to shake their head. Are you trying ruin this area? We already have stores that are empty. People are still trying to recover from Covid where basically shut this town down. We lost restaurants we lost pubs. We lost evening entertainment. There is nothing to do in this town now you should be focussing on how you’re bringing people back to this town how you’re going to rebuild this town how you’re going to make this a vibrant community again and not forcing people to run water to their home at a ridiculous cost. You need to pull your name from this petition to stop this from moving forward before people end up having to sell their homes because they’re not gonna be able to afford to pay this ridiculous amount of money.

Sounds more like North Korea them West Nipissing. This woke council has lost it's way in using common sense in making these decisions. You don't own anything and the Govnt. will dictate your life. Forcing some one to pay for some thing they already paid for and already have is beyond ridiculous.
