Coldstream's zoning the surface of Kalamalka lake within it's boundaries. Mayor Jim Garlick says it's in response to things like pile driver barges left anchored off the foreshore and the possibility of houseboats. There'll be a public hearing for input at the August meeting of council.
And the mayor's asking Vernon for some advance notice when making changes to what the city bills the municipality for sewer. He says they can understand the need when things like increased costs for the biosolids facility come up unexpectedly, but fair warning's needed. To cover the latest hike Coldstream will dip into reserves but some of the cost will go to the users.

Excellent Coldstream response to the announcement of Vernon letting OK Springs off the hook for their sewer bill. Anticipating the effect a coupla years from now when the rates will need to go up to cover off the extra BoD loading the brewery puts into the system. Sooner or later Vernon Council is going to have to understand that it is not operating in a vaccuum.
It may be looking after one of its bigger corporate customers, but in doing so there is a ripple effect.
Taxpayers know those ripples all too well.
