City sets date for water pull-out

107.5 KISSFM Pete McIntyre

The city of Vernon has set a date for pulling out of Greater Vernon Water. Mayor Wayne Lippert says they've been unable to resolve some ongoing differences with Areas B and C of NORD. Lippert told KISS FM, "The city of Vernon is definately wanting to withdraw from the water service, the Greater Vernon water utility (distribution), and the date we would like to withdraw is January 1, 2009." Lippert says the change should mean better service for Vernon residents, as the city will be able to address water concerns quicker. The mayor doesn't think the move will mean an end to the Greater Vernon Services Committee, as there will still be a partnership for supplying water.

"The mayor doesn't think the move will mean an end to the Greater Vernon Services Committee,"

I would be very surprised if the Mayor is right. Other Directors challenge the Parks function and disagree on the governance issue. My prediction is that GVSC will have a requiem after January 1st, 2009 if the City pulls out of GVW.
