NORD wants input from the public before adopting a plan to hike water rates significantly. The Greater Vernon Advisory Council is recommending a four-tier system be adopted which will increase the base rate to $66.20 and see an average user's water bill climb almost 20 percent. Calculations show that low water users could see a much higher increase, possibly almost 60 percent. The North Okanagan Regional District board has to approve the plan for the budget at the end of March. Residents can provide feedback starting today.
