System Update

It's been quiet this winter on the water front. Our subdivision now has nearly all residences on water meters and the Society is hoping to have a sample billing system in place by summer, subject to approval by the members. Plans are now being developed for maintenance projects during the coming summer.

Building Code is getting greener

I noticed in an old copy of the Nelson News that there have been energy and efficiency changes to the BC Building Code. Of interest is that as of last September, "low-flow" toilets are now mandatory in new construction and renovations (low-flow meaning 6 litres per flush or less). As well, there are maximum flow rates for taps and shower-heads. For more information, see: Greening the BC Building Code: First Steps.
