THREE North
Vancouver home
owners are suing the
District of North
Vancouver for dam-
age that occurred in
the wake of a broken
water main.

In statements of claim
filed in the B.C. Supreme
Court Dec. 16, residents
of three Glencanyon Drive
homes in Upper Lonsdale
are suing the district for a
tora! of $62,840.

The statements of claim
state that on or about June
18, 1996, a water main
located under Glencanyon
Drive burst.

. Water escaped and
damaged the owners’
property.

- ° Owners say the district
breached its duties to the
residents by failing to:

@ cnsure that the water

main was properly laid out,
constructed and = main-
tained;

@ ensure that any and all
repairs to the water main
were made promptly and
reasonabiy;

@ formulate a reasonable
policy and program for
replacement and repair of
the aging water main infra-
structure, given the inci-
dence of water main break-
ages in the vicinity of the
water main;

@ implement, consistently
and with reasonable care,
the said policy and program
for replacement and repair
of the aging water main
infrastructure, particularly
with respect to the water
m

ain.

The plaintiffs’ lawyer
would not talk about the
case.

A spokesman for the
municipality said the dis-
trict’s insurer — the
Municipal Insurance
Association of B.C. — is
taking care of the matter.

Man fined in gun incident

A Surrey man, who had his guns
seized by West Vancouver
Police, was fined recently for
carrying firearms without a
licence.

Alberto Lozada was found guilty of
one charge under the provincial Wildlife
Act.

He received a $200 fine and his guns,
two .177 caliber air rifles, were ordered

to be forfeited to the Crown.

The conviction resulted from a tip by
a resident of Anvil Island.

The person reported seeing four peo-
ple with guns on Christie Islet.

The Howe Sound site is a migratory
bird sanctuary. It offers important nest-
ing area for gulls and cormorants.

The West Vancouver Police inter-
cepted the violators’ boat at Sunset
Marina in West Vancouver.

Conservation officers laid charges
against Lozada under the Wildlife Act.

The Ministry of Environment, Lands

and Parks depends upon tips from the
public to help to enforce environmental
legislation.
