Water Project Delayed
Residents on the Duteau Creek water source will be waiting longer to get better quality water.Greater Vernon Services has been told, the timeline for the new clarification plant has been delayed by six weeks.That means completion, originally set for late 2007, is now pushed back to the spring of 2008.The project will remove most of the colour and turbidity problems.The engineering firm, Earth Tech, has been awarded the $161000 contract for the plant's preliminarydesign.

Pottery Park Plan
The former landfill site on Pottery Road, is being targeted for new park-space.Greater Vernon Services says the 27 acre site would be suitable for pathways, a picnic area and dog park,and could also form part of a walking route from Coldstream Valley Estates to the Hillview School area.The plan will move forward as long as NORD agrees to construct fencing, an access road and a parking lot.
