There’s no apparent surprises in a portion of Kalamalka Lake.
The Electoral Area Advisory Committee has received a study on water quality in Cosens Bay.
“The water quality was good and they could not see any statistical difference between the sample sites,” said Bob Fleming, EAAC chairperson and Cosens Bay director.
“Anything that enters the lake is diluted.”
However, the consultant’s report did provide a warning about water quality and septic from the Cosens Bay community.
“If there is more development and more waste entering the lake, there could be a tipping point and we could see more influence,” said Fleming.
The community consists of new and older residences along three kilometres of shoreline.
“About 100 lots are perched along the shoreline with soils of variable drainage, steepness and permeability,” said Laura Frank, planning projects manager, in a report.
“The goal of the water quality sampling program was to establish if there was any influence or impact from septic systems in this area.”
