North Bay owner optimistic RM will approve lagoon application
The two-year saga to find land for a new lagoon to service North Bay Trailer Park could come to a close next week.
The application to build a new lagoon on a 160-acre parcel of land approximately two miles west of Highway 2, near Red Wing Road, will be up for a vote Monday at the Rural Municipality of Buckland’s council meeting.
The new structure is needed to replace the failing system for roughly 65 dwellings at the park. If a plan for a new lagoon cannot be decided on before September 1, authorities from the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (WSA) have said work will begin to decommission the old lagoon, meaning all 200-odd residents of the park could be forced to move.
A public hearing for the application in early June was punctuated with periodically heated exchanges and rapid-fire back-and-forths from a crowd heavily opposed to the project.
