Upgrades to a North Westside water utility are moving ahead.
The Regional District of Central Okanagan board has approved spending up to $950,000 from reserves for a major improvement project on the Killiney Beach water system.
“The regional district will submit an application to the Build Canada-Small Communities Fund for up to $1.9 million in funding to assist with the cost of construction, which will include installation of almost five kilometres of new pipe, upgraded water intake pumps and a new 500-cubic meter cell for the upper reservoir,” said Bruce Smith, RDCO communications officer.
“The project will result in more efficient operation of the water system that was built in the early 1980s while improving service to the about 280 properties currently connected.”
Another 145 properties could be serviced by the system in the future.
