Commentaire

As a waterfront cottager for over 12 years who has paid a considerable amount of taxes, I agree with the changes and find the current floating homes unfair and very concerning. Part of our tax payment goes toward emergency services, garbage disposal and general betterment of our community. These floating homes are not helping pay for any of these services and likely causing more long term cost related to these services and water pollution. The grey and black water is not monitored and an issue for our wildlife, fish and water quality, as many cottages rely on lake water through their treatment systems. When we purchased our last cottage, a proper water filtration system was mandated as we relived on lake water. I doubt that these floating homes have such systems and doubt these are monitored/controlled.
Thank you for proposing these new regulations and we hope to see the necessary changes.
