AROUND THE POINT

Effective February 1 Canada Customs has prohibited the admission of firewood to Canada without a phytosanitary certificate in order to protect the country’s forests from imported pests.

Point Roberts water commissioners went with experience and chose engineers from Hammond, Collier, Wade and Livingstone, district engineers for the last twenty years, to draw up a sewer facilities plan for Point Roberts.

The Hammond, Collier, Wade and Livingstone proposal was chosen from seven applications for the $55,000 job, which is 80 percent funded by a U.S. Forestry Service rural infrastructure grant.
Terms of the grant give the engineers a year to finish the job, which will look at three options for a sewer collection system on the Point and evaluate the economic feasibility of building a system and treatment plant. The study will also determine which areas of the Point, if any, should be served by a sewer.

The following Point Roberts residents were awarded diplomas from Western Washington University at the conclusion of summer quarter, 2001.
