FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022

The City of West Kelowna has initiated the last and final phase of the Rose Valley Water Treatment Plant (RVWTP) to construct water transmission mains. When operational in 2023, the plant will deliver safe, clean drinking water to 18,000 residents with room to grow.                                                                                     

The City awarded the $10-million contract to a local company, Bluepoint Construction Ltd., for constructing 3.7 kilometres of transmission mains to connect residents on the West Kelowna Estates and Sunnyside/Pritchard water systems to the new Rose Valley Water Service Area. In efforts to create additional efficiencies and minimize the impacts on the community, construction is also being coordinated with active transportation upgrades on Westlake and Parkinson Roads, from West Kelowna Road to Pettman Road and with drainage improvements on Rosewood Drive.

“This award of construction represents the last significant milestone in connecting half of our population to this new modern water system,” says Mayor Gord Milsom. “This multi-year project began in 2020, and despite a challenging construction market and supply chain disruptions, we are pleased to see Council’s number one priority infrastructure project take this last step to provide reliable high-quality drinking water for our community. I am grateful for our community’s patience while this critical infrastructure is built to replace our city’s aging water systems.”

Two in-person public information sessions are being planned to provide more information about the RVWTP, upcoming transmission main construction and the next steps for connecting to the new water supply system.

Quick Facts

  • The Government of Canada and the Province of British Columbia awarded the City of West Kelowna a funding contribution of $41 million toward construction of Rose Valley Water Treatment Plant under the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund. The project budget remains unchanged at up to $75 million.

  • The three-storey, 5,100-square-metre plant is being built on a 9.7-hectare City-owned property at 2010 Bartley Road, accessed via the end of Rosewood Drive, and will have capacity to provide up to 70 million litres of treated water per day, with future expansion capacity of 115 million litres.

  • In March 2021, the City of West Kelowna awarded the construction of the main treatment plant building and treated water reservoir to Maple Reinders. The $45.1 million contract to Maple Reinders is within the project budget and will benefit the West Kelowna community through their proven infrastructure expertise locally and in the Okanagan region.
