Union Bay landowners need to wake up. We are in the process of losing our water licence, and if we sit back and do nothing (like when we were locked out of public meetings), it will be too late.

There is something very wrong with what has taken place regarding our water source.

The Trustees of the Union Bay Improvement District need to hear from those concerned. The Board has advised the RD, it is not going to turn over the water licence. Let your elected representatives at all levels know how you feel about this.

History tells us the powers that be will just go ahead if they think we sheep will not object.

2006 we're promised Langley Lake won't be on the table as a source for Kensington Island Properties.

2007 we're told it has to be Langley Lake, and we have to turn over the licence as we're to be part of a regional water supply.

2007 Regional District illegally changes bylaws and water source without public input.

2009 we're told Langley Lake and Union Bay will not be part of Regional Water Supply.

2011 we're told Regional District still expects water licence turnover as it is a condition in the Master Development Agreement with Kensington Island Properties.

2012 Union Bay Improvement District advises Regional District the water licence will NOT be turned over.

2012 Kensington Island Properties declares Union Bay doesn't own the licence.
