Spallumcheen will be asking Greater Vernon Water for a tap. Mayor Janice Brown says there are industrial lots on the north side of highway 97 where it crosses Swan Lake that aren't served. She says "Vernon water already goes under the road, we've got the frontage road, we've got the main highway there, we've got four, probably four industrial lots, sitting empty there that people have shown interest in and could bring up to 200 people to be employed down there." Brown says they are aware it's not policy to do hookups that way, but it'd be a good boost for the whole areas economy, especially as those employees would likely be living and shopping in the greater Vernon area.
