The City of West Kelowna operates four water systems - Lakeview (Local Rose Valley), Powers Creek (Legacy Westbank), Sunnyside/Pritchard and West Kelowna Estates. Upon completion of Rose Valley Water Treatment Plant and connections to the Lakeview, Sunnyside/Pritchard and West Kelowna Estates Systems, the City will operate two systems, with the other being served by the Powers Creek Water Treatment Plant.
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.
