Coldstream seeking public input for water supply consideration

The District of Coldstream has plans to amend its Official Community Plan to ensure water supply is protected, and wants the public to have their say in the change.

Under the proposed amendment, language would be added to the OCP’s Policy section.

• Consider the capacity and long-term sustainability of regional water supply systems when evaluating land use designations, rezonings and subdivision applications, in consultation with the Greater Vernon Water Utility.
• Support development sequencing that aligns with available water servicing capacity and planned infrastructure upgrades to ensure growth matches servicing capacity.

An addition will also be made under the OCP’s Development section.
