Vernon's Waste Water Management Program

We have often been told Cranbrook's Waste Water Management program is comparable to other leading edge systems.  In Mayor Manjak's letter to the Townsman on January 12, 2011 he stated, "We are and will be the green example of sustainable wastewater management."

However, Vernon's system for example already has several distinct and important differences such as the final product has either received ultra-violet treatment or chlorination before any is discharged back into the environment. The public have been involved in their upgrade process and newsletter updates are released to the public.  Vernon has a system that is much newer than Cranbrook's - nevertheless they are in the process of upgrades which they appear eager to do.
