Defender of communal aquifer wants B.C. Supreme Court to review extraction application

Merville, B.C. – The founder of an organization determined to protect a community aquifer wants the British Columbia Supreme Court to become involved in a local zoning decision that allows the communal aquifer’s water to be extracted and sold.

The founder of Merville Water Guardians says the allowance of a water extraction licence shouldn’t allow the applicant’s business to be classified as a home occupation business, but rather an industrial business.
