North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant's cost increased from $700M to nearly $4B, with taxpayers facing an additional $725 per household annually for 30 years.

The North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant's cost has ballooned to almost $4B, up from the initial $700M budget in 2018. The project faced major roadblocks when Metro Vancouver terminated its contract with the original designer and builder. North Shore taxpayers are expected to bear a significant portion of the increased costs, with preliminary figures suggesting an additional $725 per household annually for the next 30 years. The federal and provincial governments may contribute more funds to the project, which is now the largest in Metro Vancouver's history.
