We are almost the most expensive already and many more dollars need to be spent on the system,which no doubt,will make us the most expensive in BC.We need a public enquiry to look into the management and board of Greater Vernon Water
Most expensive already on sewer, why not add water to the mix.
Time to wake up, taxpayers. Demand accountability for years of mis-management.
