Go Low Flow

Councillor Rob Lantz — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 17:51:51 +0000

Just received this from the Utility Projects Officer:

If you were on the fence about replacing an old or leaky toilet in your home, there is some added incentive this weekend!

Home Depot is having their annual Go Low Flow sale on high-efficiency toilets (dual-flush or 4.8 models). If you live in Charlottetown or have a business or rental property in the City, you are eligible to receive a rebate of $75 on these toilets when replacing up to 2 older models that use over 6L/flush.

So… if you purchase their Glacier Bay dual-flush model you will only end up paying $24 after rebate!

Visit the city website for more information on the low flow Toilet Rebate Program.

Combine water conservation with the city’s Voluntary Meter Program and you could save more money and help us conserve a precious resource.

Waste Water Plant Strike Settled

Councillor Rob Lantz — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 12:28:45 +0000

I am pleased to announce the City’s bargaining committee met yesterday with representatives from CUPE Local 501 (Waste Water Treatment Plant) and reached an agreement that will end the strike. Both the union and City Council ratified the agreement last night and a joint press release will be issued today. The Plant workers will be back on the job tomorrow.

Cows Cause Panic on Farm

Councillor Rob Lantz — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:36:29 +0000

I’ve been hearing from members of the Upton Farm Preservation Network since 7am this morning about the front page article in the Guardian concerning the sewer and water extension to Poplar Island for the new Cows Ice Cream factory.

Despite the perception created by some of the unfortunate quotes in the article, the city’s position has not changed with respect to Upton Farms; Council fully supports keeping the Farm green. At least two other Councillors and the Mayor have been in touch with Network members to clarify.

The developer is paying the city’s share for the extension down to Poplar Island, and the city is installing a small amount of supporting infrastructure to accommodate any future growth in demand in the area. That’s all. The city pays virtually nothing for the expansion and reaps the benefit of a substantial property tax bill payable by the factory well into the future. It is in no way related to Canada Lands’ shelved plan to develop a portion of Upton Farm.
