SUMMERLAND — Garnet Valley Road in Summerland is plagued by potholes and patches meant to fix those potholes. Letitia Whitaker lives on that road and calls it dangerous to drive on.
Director of Works and Utilities Don Darling says Garnet Valley is the road that receives the most complaints.
Darling says not much can be done until Summerland receives funding from the provincial and federal governments because Garnet Valley Road is anticipated to get torn up and fixed as part of a larger project to upgrade the water system.
The District is proposing to separate irrigation from domestic water. This will provide residents with filtered water from the treatment plant.
The water service and road improvements are estimated at $6.2 million. Summerland taxpayers will foot a third of the bill while the rest will come from government grants.
The B.C. government will announce which municipalities will receive money from the Small Communities Fund over the next couple of months.
