For lots within Aquifer IA (see map below), proof of sewage treatment is required 
before a VHR use is permitted. The Islands Trust requires confirmation in writing 
from a Registered Onsite Wastewater Practitioner (ROWP) that there is adequate 
sewage treatment for both the residential use and for the proposed VHR use.
