A feasibility study on sewer service is about to start in the Central Okanagan.

The Regional District of Central Okanagan is about to start investigating the feasibility of providing sewer service to a small residential area south of Peachland.

Communication coordinator, Bruce Smith, says the study will affect approximately 45 single-family properties along Brent and Anderson Roads, just off Highway 97 within the Central Okanagan West Electoral Area.

“All homes in the neighbourhood situated for the most part on solid rock, are using standard septic systems, some of which are almost 40 years old,” says Smith.

He says during the course of the feasibility study, the consultant will look at whether any connection can be made to the existing sewer system, the implications and potential costs for property owners.

“It’s anticipated a final report will be presented for Regional Board consideration this fall.”
