It’s not what residents on a portion of Hutchcroft Street in Quesnel, who’s homes are being threatened by erosion along Baker Creek, wanted to hear.
City Council has approved a staff recommendation to relocate the Sewer Mainline that was damaged or washed away during this spring’s freshet.
Unfortunately, as City Manager Byron Johnson explained, that also has an impact on those residents…
“It’s important to note that the city will not spend money on mitigative measures unless the city infrastructure is at imminent risk. In this particular situation there is no city infrastructure remaining at imminent risk because the relocation of the mainline reduces that risk.”
