Utilities Acquisition
Policyy
In November 2011, the
Regional Board adopted a
policy that will guide
future acquisition of
utilities by the
Regional District. The
goal of the policy is to
standardize the process
by which the Regional
District will consider
taking ownership of any
utilities, such as
private water or
waste-water treatment
systems and ensures that
all due diligence is
done on behalf of both
utility customers and
regional district
ratepayers. The
policy was developed at
the request of the
Regional Board.

Westside Regional
Wastewater Treatment
Plant Development Cost
Charges Study
The study was adopted in
August 2010 and provides
the Regional District
with updated Development
Cost Charge calculations
to reflect the cost of
future upgrades to the
Westside Regional
Wastewater Treatment
Plant which provides
services to the District
of West Kelowna,
District of Peachland
and Westbank First
Nation reserves
connected to sewer
systems.

Westside Regional
Wastewater Treatment
Plant Rates Analysis
In the fall of 2010, the
Westside Regional
Wastewater Treatment
Plant Rates Analysis was
completed. Its
goal is to establish a
cost recovery approach
for the Regional
District of Central
Okanagan facility,
servicing wastewater
treatment needs of the
District of West
Kelowna, District of
Lake Country and
Westbank First Nation
reserves through major
collection trunks and
lift stations. The
costs considered include
both those for operation
and maintenance and
capital replacement.
The analysis is designed
to identify annual costs
and establish equitable
charges for the three
participating local
governments.

Water System Reviews
During 2010, the
Regional District of
Central Okanagan
conducted a series of
engineering and
technical reviews of
several of its water
systems: Falcon
Ridge, Killiney Beach
and Westshore Estates.
These reviews assessed
the state of the
infrastructure and
provided recommendations
on short and long term
capital infrastructure
improvements that would
be required over the
next 20 years while
recommending financing
strategies for which to
base user and
maintenance fees.

Part A of the
Engineering Services
for identification
of preferred water source(s) and
preliminary project
design.

Westside Storm water Quality Management Initiative
Prior to the District of
West Kelowna
incorporation, the Regional District of Central Okanagan completed a Storm water Quality Management
program for the Westside.
Stakeholders, neighborhood groups and individuals provided their input through meetings
and questionnaires on various options that might be used in a proactive effort to
protect the environment, by improving the quality of storm water that collects in
creeks, ditches and storm sewers on the Westside.

Storm water Quality Management final report.

Westside Master Drainage Plan
The Westside Master Drainage Plan was commissioned in May 1997 by the Regional District
of Central Okanagan and completed in July 2000 by Urban Systems Ltd. and EBA Engineering
Ltd. This plan updates previously completed drainage studies for the Glenrosa
area (1993, Urban Systems Ltd./Golder Associates Ltd.) and the Westbank area (1995,
Urban Systems Ltd./Golder Associates Ltd.) and integrates them with the new
information into a single document. For ease of viewing, it has been separated
into sections and reproduced electronically .
- Table of Contents, Introduction, Issues and Policies, Design Criteria and Assumptions
-
Section 1 - 3 (60 pages)
- Basic Drainage Plans - Section 4
- Cost Recovery and Appendices -
Section 5 (52 pages)
