The Okanagan Indian Band (OKIB) is working with subject matter experts on a collaborative approach that will improve water quality and ensure accountability and environmental stewardship throughout the process. The project involves upgrades to the Irish Creek/Head of the Lake and Six Mile/Bradley community water systems. The entire system will be constructed within OKIB's IR #1. While water is provided by nature, many of us rely on a network of pipes, pumps, storage reservoirs, equipment, and people provided by our community’s water systems to deliver water to our buildings. We want to ensure this is done in a responsible way.
