Curtis York Trucking has sent a letter to the City of Dawson Creek outlining concerns over stage two water restrictions implemented by the municipality.
"Access to our water main has been completely cut off which was installed at a significant cost and a large monthly fee is paid to maintain. A portion of our assessment, which as you know determines our taxes, takes the value of our water main into consideration – the value of which has been unavailable to us for nearly 10 percent of the year," writes York.
"Although we've had some additional moisture, by no means, I don't want the public or anybody to think that this has solved all our problems, because in fact, it hasn't," said Henderson, noting their system isn't fed by mountain snow pack. The bylaw itself was also developed to prevent large water hauls used in fracking, he explained further, noting the city might be able to work with York if the water is just for infrastructure protection.
