A strange comment for a real estate ad, the coming system is a paradox for the merchants. The system to be built is a static system, that is it has capacity to service existing properties with only a small surplus allotment to handle property improvements and infilling and that has to last forever. Static is a term used by engineers meaning "just enough" to do the job. No future capacity exists for development. This puts a hard cap on any growth in the commercial area. Dreams of expanding to a Sauble wide system are impossible because the Sauble River, a salmonid spawning stream cannot assimilate the treated effluent from a larger plant. Have you seen the promo picture of children playing in the Sauble Falls? The reason they can play there is that late season flow rates are very low in some years. The idea of treated effluent from 3500 homes added to existing flow is not acceptable on a number of levels. This was the final detail in a string of political mistakes that killed the original project in 2007. This is not speculation I have a complete record including three studies initiated out of concern for river water quality and done before 1990. None of these studies ever envisaged a further damaging contribution from a sewage treatment plant.

Because it is a small system it is expensive for the properties served and while it is a current choice of one of two ways of protecting the groundwater and the most expensive one it does not meet one of the intrinsic goals of the commercial world, namely area growth and development. Thus the paradox, it is both good and bad at the same time.
