Coldstream council has changed it's mind on getting rid of Greater Vernon Water.Mayor Jim Garlick says devolution isn't in the interest of the area and they don't support getting rid of the system. "He says keeping it as it is now better serves all of the residents."Instead of that what we'd like to see is the reinstatement of the Greater Vernon Services establishment bylaw. We'd like to work on re-instating that. It was taken out in the last term." The mayor says removing the bylaw has created conflict and impacted not only water issues, but parks as well."The City of Vernon has stated it was erroneous to take it out because what it ended up doing was not giving us a clear governance model, and what we've seen as a result of that is problems in the parks service and and in water." Both RDNO and GVAC will now vote on the proposal.
