Project Background

The Skaha Estates Improvement District (SEID) is located approximately 3 kilometres north of Okanagan Falls and 15.4 km south of Penticton, on Eastside Road and spans an area of approximately 95 hectares. The SEID water system provides services to 185 lots of which 159 properties are active.

The potable water system is experiencing challenges with aging infrastructure, replacement costs, and the potential of significant capital upgrades being necessary in the near future. The SEID has initiated a discussion with the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) to acquire the SEID system, making it eligible for grant funding. On behalf of SEID, the RDOS retained the services of TRUE Consulting (TRUE) to prepare a system assessment for the potable water system in support of the RDOS Utility Acquisition Policy.
