Yes. This is unfortunate, but these people own their homes, the roads and all the infrastructure. Who’s is responsible if not them? Think “gated community” without the gates. On the outskirts of Penticton. If they had a good O&M contract, sue the operator.

I think they should file a class action against the water company, and the province and let the split the bill. The regulatory oversight here was clearly substandard.

Then they should have money for lawyers!
