Description

There is little doubt that had the Villages involved in this Commission presented this water supply system that was to only involve their water usage volumes alone, the project would not have been approved or supported by the Alberta Government. Other alternatives to their water issues would have had to be determined and examined. If it concluded that the Municipal District of Rocky View No.44 and Kneehill County's decision not to annually contribute in net water volume based on their 55% water allocation share nor to be responsible for their 55% share of the debenture debt is not appropriate and lead exclusively to the direct financial deficits of the Commission, then these rural municipalities and tem alone should be held responsible for the financial demise of the Commission.
