Interior Health Flexing its Muscle

The Valley Voice, Feb 25, 2009 - IHA has issued an order to the RDCK to treat and disinfect domestic water delivered to South Slocan water users. The work must be completed within a year and the users will have to pay for the work. Readers will recall that users of this system turned down an earlier plan to improve the system, one which would have cost users about $600/year. This order by IHA will force RDCK to borrow the funds needed, almost certainly resulting in far greater costs than the original plan.
