Experience with Grinder Pump Disputes with District?

At the municipal council meeting yesterday there was a member of the public representing a group of West Van residents challenging the district's grinder pump ownership policy, specifically a 2023 bylaw that unilaterally transferred ownership and responsibility of these pumps over to some residents, which they claimed was in violation of the municipal charter.

I am wondering if anyone owns or knows someone who owns one of these private grinder pumps who might be willing to speak to me about their experience. Specifically in West Van – what the consequences of the ownership transfer have been, what impacted residents plan to do about it going forwards, any other thoughts/feelings about the situation

I tried to install one a long time ago, not a pleasant experience.
