Finally, better use of the Langley plant is  on the table as an option; yes a pipeline would be expensive and disruptive, but perhaps trucking effluent from a holding tank is another option - or a combination of building a pipeline and holding tank some distance closer to the Langley plant and trucking from there.

If not already done, what absolutely should also be on the table is a comprehensive water conservation investment by the District. Modern toilets use 1.28 gallons per flush - compared to old toilets that use 3.5 to 5 gals/flush. Change out all of Freeland's old toilets, residential and commercial, and see how much sewage is left to be treated. It could well be the most cost effective option toward a short and long term solution. A one time big water conservation project will also save water and create jobs and be a valuable investment in the community.
