Final water meeting commences

The stakeholders committee reviewing the master water plan will hold its last meeting Wednesday

Final details on Greater Vernon’s water system could be hammered out Wednesday.

The stakeholders committee reviewing the master water plan will hold its last meeting at 10 a.m. at the Regional District of North Okanagan office.

From there, committee recommendations will go to the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee and the RDNO board for consideration.

Currently, the committee is recommending Duteau Creek and Kalamalka Lake be maintained as drinking water sources and that two treatment plants remain. It also wants partial separation of agricultural land from treated water.

The stakeholders’ review of the master water plan was launched after a 2014 referendum to borrow $70 million for the plan was shot down by residents.
