Voter apathy is a concern leading up to the Nov. 15 Greater Vernon water utility borrowing referendum for $70 million in upgrades. Few people came out to three recent information sessions regarding the costly water plan. “The number of people attending was abysmal,” said Coldstream Coun. Gyula Kiss, who counted only eight people at each of the first two and 32 at the latest. There is one more opportunity for the public to educate themselves on the plan prior to the vote. The Regional District of North Okanagan office (9848 Aberdeen Rd.) will host an input session Oct. 28 from 5 to 7 p.m. Kiss also notes that Interior Health representative Gordon Moseley has stated that if the vote fails upgrades won’t necessarily be forced. “He actually stated at the meeting that if the vote is no then we will have to sit down and review.”
