Water is pumped from Okanagan Lake (known as a surface water source) to the treatment Plant where it undergoes Ultra Violet Light (UV) treatment to neutralize waterborne pathogens including chlorine resistant organisms such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia. It is then chlorinated using sodium hypochlorite as a second level of disinfection and protection within the distribution system.

Naramata Water Meter Pilot Project

The Naramata Water Meter Pilot Program is coming to an end. The meters will be a great tool for Naramata enabling everyone who had a meter installed to see just how much water they are using and us to ensure enough water will be reserved for times of need. A total of 89 water meters have been installed to date, 32 commercial/winery, 40 agricultural and 17 residential. A few remaining
meters that the RDOS was waiting on parts for will be installed in the spring.
