Environment

The Regional operates two sewer system service areas.

West side of Okanagan Lake which includes:

  • City of West Kelowna
  • District Municipality of Peachland
  • Tsinstikeptum Indian Reserves 9 and 10

Trunk mains have been extended into all the areas listed above except Peachland where a force main was required to provide sewer service. The trunk and force mains bring sewer closer to the individual neighbourhood. Collection systems branch out from these trunk and force mains to extend the sewers further into these areas. Once this is completed, sewer service is available to the individual properties. 

Sunset Ranch community in the Central Okanagan East Electoral Area

The Regional District also operates the Central Okanagan East sewer system for the Sunset Ranch community.  This system is connected to the City of Kelowna sewer trunk system, for which the Regional District pays a connection fee.   See adjusted rates for 2023-2027 below.

2023-2027 Central Okanagan East Sewer System rates (Sunset Ranch)

The Regional Board has approved amendments to Bylaw 1316 setting out annual commercial and residential sewer rates for the Sunset Ranch community for the next five years.

The rate adjustments take effect January 1, 2023 and reflect projected inflation and increases in fees charged by the City of Kelowna to connect the community sewer system to the City sewer trunk system.
