City Council has approved a recommendation for Kelowna’s five water purveyors to work collaboratively on a long-term city-wide approach to the provision of quality water at the least possible cost. A Memorandum of Understanding approved by Council Sept. 13 will see all local water purveyors within City limits collaborate in long-term technical water treatment and supply solutions and the development coordinated implementation plans for expansion and improvement of the water system during the next 20-50 years. The MOU has already been signed by the Boards of all major water purveyors operating within the City boundaries. In 2009, Council asked for a long-term strategy and review of the water treatment and supply systems within City limits. A study completed by Associated Engineering outlines treatment and supply options. It also provides preliminary technical background to support application for the Province’s financial participation in the various short and long-term water quality capital improvement projects planned by the water purveyors operating in Kelowna. Recommendations to Council, anticipated in 2011, will include an implementation plan and an assessment of the cost implications for water customers.

Planning for the future? Maybe Vernon should look into that
