Four municipalities are preparing a sanitation network for the coast of Omaha

Sainte-Honorine, Colleville, Saint-Laurent and Vierville were preparing a joint coastal sanitation program. Desired for more than ten years, the project responded, according to Jean-Marie Oxéant, mayor of Vierville and president of the union, to European regulations, the improvement of water quality, the comfort of residents and the needs of tourism.

One Friday, the representatives of the municipalities took note of the final file established by the DDA. Five treatment sites were planned: two in Sainte-Honorine and one in each of the other three municipalities. The first tranche was to serve 245 homes in Sainte-Honorine, 52 in Colleville, 210 in Saint-Laurent and 135, as well as the campsite in Vierville.

The investment reached forty million francs, 80% subsidized by the General Council, the Water Agency and Europe. Municipalities had to finance the remaining 20% with an interest-free loan. The financial structure was closed and the selected file had been transmitted.

Bernard Petit, mayor of Colleville, requested several changes on behalf of his city council, including a solution for the VVF. The technicians advocated a upgrading of the existing private installation; a partial connection could be studied, but not the whole, considered too expensive.

The mayor also wanted to serve areas excluded from the project, along the D 514 and at the hamlet of Cabourg, and presented these requests as conditions of participation. The president of the union replied that the modification deadline had passed and proposed a second installment the following year. Bernard Petit then left the meeting.

The union maintained its objective of completing the work before 2001 in order to benefit from the aid. He indicated that, if Colleville withdrew, the program would be continued in three municipalities.
