Water Rate Break Suggested For Supportive Housing Projects

Supportive housing projects in Vernon could get a break on their water rates to make them more cost effective.

Greater Vernon Advisory Director Bob Spiers says four Class 3 projects — with a total of 81 units — are being considered.

“All these projects that are in the Class 3 are approved by the province of BC at a cabinet level each and every year,” says Spiers.

Spiers says they are looking at charging the developments just one base water fee, instead of one for each unit.
