The first sanitation rehabilitations begin on the coast

At the end of the non-collective sanitation diagnostic campaign launched in 2005, the first standard-up projects were underway on the coast. In the article of October 6, 2009, Céline Michaud, of the SPANC, announced seventy-three devices to be rehabilitated, with work started on June 8 and scheduled until November 15.

The perimeter selected was initially aimed at improving the quality of coastal waters: Maisons, Sainte-Honorine, Colleville, Saint-Laurent, Vierville and Louvières were concerned. The facilities could then benefit from subsidies of the order of 75%, including 15% from the water agency and 60% from the general council. A zero-rate eco-loan could complete the financing.

The Intercom, through the SPANC, provided administrative and technical management: soil study, assessment by bailiff before and after work, then rehabilitation of the land to the same condition. A call for tenders had selected a material supplier and two production companies.

A subsequent campaign was envisaged in 2011. President Patrick Thomines stressed the work needed to prepare for rehabilitation in the nineteen other municipalities. The aid would probably not be identical: some files could be capped at 50%, others would only benefit from the eco-loan, after individual examination.
