## Resource

A Spanish multinational company has reached a settlement in competing lawsuits over Metro Vancouver’s wastewater treatment plant. Acciona has agreed to pay $235M over the cancellation of the North Shore plant. Metro Vancouver says those funds will go back into project planning as part of next year’s budget process. The cost of the plant ballooned from $700M to close to $4B. A review of what went wrong will now get underway.
