City of Vancouver on hook for $10 million cost of capping massive groundwater leak
Neither the property owner nor the drilling company can be reached
An Italian company and its two principals are facing four charges each for the breach of a massive aquifer on a residential construction site in Vancouver's Kerrisdale neighbourhood in September 2015, a breach that has cost the city more than $10 million to fix.
Neither Armando nor Tommaso Mascetti nor any representative of their company Geoenergia Projects (Canada) Inc. showed up in provincial court last week.
And they're not expected to show up on Feb 13 for their next appearance. They shut down operations in the Vancouver area soon after the 2015 breach and are believed to have gone back to Italy.
"The driller was unable to stop the flow of water, left the job, took his equipment and left," said Vancouver's deputy city manager Paul Mochrie.
"There was no contract in place between the owner and the driller...the company took off," Mochrie said,
