Realtors support
W. Van Fire Dept.
oil tank program

THE REAL ESTATE Board of
Greater Vancouver showed its en-
vironmental support for the West
Vancouver Fire Department’s
Operation Oil Tank Program on
July 4 when Maureen Bragg,
president of the board’s West
Vancouver division, presented a
cheque for $1,700 to Fire Chief
Colin Evans.

“The Real Estate Board is
pleased to participate in this wor-
thwhile program that will point
the way towards a cleaner en-
vironment in West Vancouver,”
said Rosemary Barnes, president
of the 7,700-member board.

The fire department used the
donation to print information
brochures for homeowners and to
purchase uniforms for student
employees, who are documenting
the addresses and site locations of
approximately 5,500 underground
oil tanks in West Vancouver. Stu-

dents will then solicit those ad-
dresses, explain the program to
homeowners, and ask to view the
premises. The District of North
Vancouver is also conducting the
oil-tank program.

Underground oj] tanks have
been installed since 1945 to pro-
vide oil to furnaces of single-fami-
ly homes. Although most of these
tanks are no longer in use, many,
which have not been removed or
properly pumped out and filled
with sand, have been abandoned
with oil still in them. Leaking oil,
caused by a punctured tank, has
already made its way into ditches,
storm drains, creeks and the ocean
- so homeowners are urged to
make a point of reading the
brochure that informs of the en-
vironmental damage associated
with old oil tanks and the proper
procedures to render them en-
vironmentally safe.
