Phase 1 of the Kelowna Integrated Water project, which is anticipated for completion by 2021, is scheduled to begin mid-July. The City says the project will impact Chute Lake Road, Frost Road and Gordon Drive.

“The first step in delivering clean drinking water to Southeast Kelowna residents is to extend the transmission line from the City utility into the new service area,” says Patrick Aylard, Project Manager with Infrastructure Delivery at the City of Kelowna.

“This means neighbourhoods that already have clean water will be affected by construction, but we’re taking steps to manage construction and traffic impacts safely and effectively,” he adds. 

Detour routes will be signed, and where detours are not possible, single lane alternating traffic will be implemented with no more than 15-minute wait times.

“Construction in the South Mission will continue to the end of 2018,” adds Aylard. “Additional areas will start later this summer on Stellar Drive and just north of the Crawford neighborhood in Southeast Kelowna.”
