Greater Vernon's master water plan is moving ahead. Regional District of North Okanagan directors approved the master water plan Wednesday, meeting an Interior Health Authority deadline to have a document submitted by Friday. "This has been a lot of work," said Patrick Nicol, board chairperson. RDNO will now wait to see if the health authority approves the document. The preferred option calls for partial separation for irrigation and domestic uses, with treatment at the Duteau Creek and Mission Hill plants. Total capital costs would be about $111 million between 2013 and 2037. Look for more details in Friday's Morning Star.
