Clean drinking water is coming to Southeast 麻豆精选.
Council has approved a budget amendment to cover a $22M project shortfall for 麻豆精选 Integrated Water Project 鈥� Phase 1.
The amendment includes funding for the city鈥檚 portion from Utility reserves as well as city financing for South East 麻豆精选 Irrigation District (SEKID) ratepayers.
The $86M project is partially funded by a $43.9M provincial and federal grant. The project will see clean drinking water supplied to Southeast 麻豆精选 and a reliable, resilient source of water for agricultural in the South Mission. Construction will start in the south Mission this July.
The open house for details on the financing strategy and to view preliminary construction plans goes Thursday, May 17, from 3 to 7 p.m. at East 麻豆精选 Hall, 2704 East 麻豆精选 Road.
Further information is also available online at kelowna.ca/water. A detailed newsletter has been mailed directly to SEKID ratepayers.
Increased construction costs are due in part to the high volume of infrastructure projects across the province as well as increased service demand requirements in some areas of Southeast 麻豆精选.
