Bonavista homeowners want water and sewer

Town clerk says expanding services is not feasible in near future

In the far end of Bonavista, as you leave on route 235, there are 50 to 60 households who do not have water and sewer.

A group of concerned citizens who want water and sewer service stand in their neighbourhood, at the corner of route 235 and Birchy Place.

The homes are on the main road, Rocky Drung and Birchy Place.

The first of the houses were built nearly 40 years ago, although many in the town have no idea the area isnt serviced and that the residents rely on well and septic.

Freeman Dunford owns one of the very first houses built there.

He says the lack of a commitment to service the area with water and sewer is a slap in the face when newer parts of town are being serviced.

From this area, I say $50,000 a year (in taxes) goes to council.

Ive been after council for the last few weeks and months and they are going to make another application for 2015 for funding from municipal affairs Its looking very positive the one thing that we need to bring about is to get this project number one priority with council.
