Hydro work angers WV residents

WEST VANCOUVER Altamont

District

residents are furious over B.C. Hydro’s new gas
pipeline to Horseshoe Bay, digging up their street.

Several Altamont residents
turned out to the Sept. 16
West Vancouver council
meeting to voice their con-
cern over the disruption
. caused by the pipeline.

Ascher Smith accused
B.C. Hydro of lying to the
residents, saying that he had
been told that the pipeline
was for the residential area.

“They lied, it’s for
Horseshoe Bay,’’ Smith
said.

Smith went on to describe
the condition of the road as
being completely ruined and
asked council for support in
demanding that B.C. Hydro
pay for the complete repav-
ing of it.

“The taxpayers of West
Vancouver should not be
stuck with the costs,’’ Smith

said.

According to a report to
council on the pipeline, the
patches that ars there are
only temporary and further
work would be done by a
contractor at Hydro’s ex-
pense.

However, ‘‘B.C. Hydro at
this time has no plans‘ to
recap the street since their
franchise does not require
them to do so,’ the report
states.

The report goes on to say
that “‘there have been some
unavoidable disturbances of
various boulevards.’’

Mayor Derrick Hum-
phreys agreed that there was

-a considerable impact on the
