With summer coming to a close, many homeowners are getting ready to pull the plug on their backyard pools. This season (and every season), do your part to protect our drinking water source, Okanagan Lake, by following proper pool drainage procedures.
When draining pools, hot tubs or backyard water features at any time of the year, residents are reminded:
Residents who are unsure about proper drainage are encouraged to contact the City's Water Quality department at 250-469-8887 before draining their pool or hot tub. Improper discharge of contaminated water can result in a fine of up to $2,000.
