“We’ll be starting the public consultation and communications on that starting in December and going into the new year before the alternate approval process goes out,” adds Fraser.

Fraser says the OBWB will pay the debt servicing for the $5.9 million loan.

“It’s a great opportunity for us. We’re one of the only areas in the Okanagan that hasn’t utilized the funding, but we’ve been contributing to it for many years,” says Fraser.

The total project cost is 36.9 million dollars with senior governments expected to provide 24 million of that.

RDNO will borrow $5.2 million and Spallumcheen will use $1.5 million from reserves.

Fraser says the recovered water from the facility will be able to be used for farming.

“It’s a class A treated product that can be used for irrigation and recharging the aquifer, so it’s a great project all around.”

Fraser says the new facility will address the problem of failing septic systems in the Swan Lake corridor, and run off going directly into the lake.
