Filling up your car has provided money to help take care of the city's sewer system. The Province of British Columbia announced the City of Vernon will receive $46,500 from the Gas Tax Strategic Priorities Fund. The money will be used for the long-term sanitary sewer utility plan. City staff will begin a request for proposal process shortly for the delivery of a risk assessment of the sanitary sewer system. The information from the assessment will be used to create a prioritized list of replacements, which consider both condition and capacity. According to the city, after road infrastructure, the sanitary sewer system has the second-largest replacement value, and an analysis of ways to strategically reduce renewal costs to match available long-term funding needs to be completed. The goal of this project is to reduce the annual renewal budget while optimizing the city’s infrastructure investment to support the sustainable delivery of services to the community. The Union of BC Municipalities administers the Federal Gas Tax Fund in British Columbia in partnership with the Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia. Each year, the Government of Canada provides more than $253 million in indexed funding for local government infrastructure projects across British Columbia through the federal Gas Tax Fund.
