Residents in Southeast Kelowna will have to find alternative sources of irrigation for one day as the non-potable irrigation system will be shut down for maintenance.
The Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) has announced that the non-potable irrigation system, which provides water for irrigation purposes, will be temporarily shut down on June 15th. This one-day shutdown is necessary for the RDCO to conduct maintenance work on the system.
According to the RDCO, the maintenance work is crucial to ensure the continued efficiency and reliability of the non-potable irrigation system. The shutdown will allow for necessary repairs and upgrades to be made, which will ultimately benefit the residents in Southeast Kelowna.
During the shutdown, residents are advised to use alternative sources of irrigation for their lawns and gardens. The RDCO suggests collecting rainwater or using potable water for irrigation purposes. It is important to note that the non-potable irrigation system is not connected to the drinking water system and is strictly for irrigation purposes.
The RDCO also reminds residents to adhere to the designated irrigation schedule, which allows for efficient use of water and helps to conserve this valuable resource. The schedule can be found on the RDCO website or by contacting the RDCO directly.
The non-potable irrigation system in Southeast Kelowna has been in operation since 2016 and has been a valuable resource for residents in the area. The RDCO is committed to maintaining and improving this system to ensure its continued benefits for the community.
Residents are thanked for their understanding and cooperation during this one-day shutdown. The RDCO assures that the maintenance work will be completed as quickly and efficiently as possible to minimize any inconvenience.
