The Okanagan Valley has a limited supply of water, despite the seemingly numerous lakes and streams that crisscross the landscape. With its semi-arid climate, the region is susceptible to sudden drought conditions that can last for weeks and potentially months. Given other factors such as rapid growth and Climate Change, water must be used wisely.

Billing Questions

The consumption portion of your water bill is metered. By conserving, you can reduce your quarterly bill. If you have questions about the usage amount on your bill, call Utility Billing at 778-797-8850 or log in or register online.

Conservation Tips – Indoors

  • Don't leave water running while brushing teeth, doing dishes, shaving, etc.
  • Let water cool after cooking and then use in plants.
  • Keep a jug of water in the fridge rather than running the water until cold.
  • Install low flow appliances and shower heads.
  • Replace worn washers/seals.
  • Fix leaky faucets, which can waste up to 90 litres of water per day.
  • Repair leaking toilets.
  • Check your water meter occasionally to ensure it's not detecting any leaks.
