FAQs

The policy outlines how the limited servicing capacity will be distributed among different types of developments. It ensures that growth happens in a sustainable, cost-effective, and well-planned manner.

The available 3,900 m³/day wastewater capacity is proposed to be allocated as follows:

• 625 m³/day – Existing community
• 2,500 m³/day – Landowners Group (developers contributing financially to infrastructure upgrades)
• 363 m³/day – Infill developments
• 412 m³/day – Higher-density or unanticipated developments

The Landowners Group includes developers like Losani, Empire, Riverview, Pinevest, and Stremma. They’ve entered into an agreement with the County to help fund the infrastructure upgrades in exchange for a portion of the servicing capacity.

Yes. Developments can only move forward if there is available capacity. This policy helps prioritize which developments can proceed, supporting infill and higher-density growth while also accommodating larger projects that contribute to infrastructure costs.

The policy reserves capacity for the existing community and infill development, which supports housing options within already-serviced areas and avoids unnecessary urban sprawl.

Yes, but access is not guaranteed. These developments will be considered on a first-come, first-served basis and must meet all planning and servicing requirements before they can proceed.

If 90% of the system capacity is used, the County will review and possibly revise the policy. No new developments will be approved beyond the system’s limit unless new capacity is added.

The County’s Development Tracking Tool is updated at least twice a year and will be shared publicly. This tool tracks how much capacity is used and what remains.
