Sewage service in Foster would be a sound development plan
Town of Brome Lake missed out on the opportunity to establish a good planning process for Foster: the master plan for Brome Lake establishes that Foster should become a neighbourhood with affordable dwellings for new young families. Conveniently located near the highway, Foster village offers both working parents not only access to the highway but also great views.
The strategic plan recommended sewage to service the area. Preliminary planning also recommended a small sewage plant after the dam on the Yamaska River. Sewage would have serviced the northern part of the Faubourg du Lac-brome project near Foster Road and also the other side of Lakeside, along the Yamaska River, where there is great potential. Such a small treatment facility could then be extended and eventually service the old village. The new sewage system would service new homes first, then it could gradually be extended to sectors that have obsolete sceptic systems. Both the urban plan and the strategic plan had set implementing sewage as an objective. Gradual implementation for new homes would eventually make affordable sewage accessible to all.
A year ago, RLB (Renaissance Lac Brome) proposed that most of the actual golf course should become a park and everybody would benefit from the great views. Such a park with sewage nearby would have buildable serviced lots on the northern part of the park, with strong potential. Considering that the renaturalized gravel pit on other side of Lakeside Road also has available land that is potentially buildable, implementing sewage in Foster beside a major park
