The regional district has made a decision aimed at meeting the water demands for Silver Star Mountain in the coming years.At a special meeting, the NORD board agreed to having one water utility for the area, and to secure a 3.5 million dollar loan.The money will be paid back by the resort and used to construct a large reservoir to be filled by melting snow.NORD chairman Stan Field
calls it a big step forward.Field says, 'The resort ownership is in favour of it, and this means that we can, the Regional District, the residents up there can all move ahead and we should see that resort flourish and grow in the next while."Field says the resort area is currently serviced by wells, which don't have adequate supply to meet the future demand.
