The Regional District of North Okanagan has relaxed the water restrictions. General Manager of Engineering, Arnold Badke says the recent precipitation has significantly increased the flow of water into the utility’s upland reservoirs, Kalamalka Lake and Okanagan Lake. He says increased precipitation has also reduced the water demand on the storage, which means Stage 2 restrictions have been relaxed to Stage 1 effective immediately.
