The next steps are proceeding for a potential sewer service in the Swan Lake area.
The Regional District of North Okanagan has received $10,000 from the provincial government for phase two of the sewer treatment process.
“This timely and important financial contribution from the provincial government indicates both interest and concrete support to enable us to move this project forward,” said Bob Fleming, RDNO chairperson and BX-Swan Lake director.
Phase two will advance the vision of a shared sewer treatment system for the Swan Lake industrial corridor, Okanagan Indian Band lands at the north end of Swan Lake and the Spallumcheen southeast industrial area.
Urban Systems Limited will undertake the study to refine technical aspects of the project, develop a sustainable service model (finance and governance) and develop a communications strategy to educate and inform community members.
