Fellow Petitioners & Supporters, 

We've made the following minor amendment to the Petition Mission Statement -

"The 109 Ratepayers (to date - March 2, 2026)  - Petition the NSSWD Board of Trustees to hold a Referendum concurrent with the May 2026 AGM - To approve the approximately $2 Mil cost overrun on the Maxwell Lake Water Treatment Plant or preferably - “We the Ratepayers of the NSSWD Petition the NSSWD Board of Trustees to place a Public Tender for an RFP (Request For Proposal) to Design/Build the New Maxwell Lake - Water Treatment Plant at a Fixed Cost of $14.6 Million. This is in keeping with the Referendum Budget of $14.6 Million passed in May of 2025 by Ratepayers."

This whole notion that it's ok for Trustees to go ~$2Mil Over the Referendum Budget  of $14.6 Mil before the Project even begins, without Ratepayer Approval is simply wrong in our opinion. It does not respect the Duty of Care and Fiduciary Duty of Trustees towards to Ratepayers of Improvement Districts conveyed in the Provincial Handbook on Duties. 

We'd like to see 155 Petitions before we make our next strategic move. Please forward the link to like minded Ratepayers for their consideration. 

For those who would like to make comment on the Petition, there's an area to convey same on the Petition Sign On page.

Thank you all, David.
