A $19,500 special tax is imposed on Ma-Me-O Beach residents due to unpaid $5M debt from a failed wastewater project.

Residents of Ma-Me-O Beach, Alberta, must pay a $19,500 special tax by September 30 due to a $5 million debt from a failed wastewater project. Only 10% of residents connected to the new system, prompting council approval of the tax as a last resort after exploring other solutions. Over 50% have paid as of late August, but those who do not meet the deadline risk property seizure. Some residents are pursuing legal action against the tax.
