Willow Park Rd - Drainage Upgrades

The City will be upgrading the existing drainage infrastructure along Willow Park Rd. The existing dry well at the west end of the road is no longer sufficient to capture current overland flows and will be replaced with a new storm sewer that ties into the existing storm sewer network under Loyd Rd. A new overland route to Mill Creek will also be installed.

Stockwell Ave - Watermain Renewal and Urbanization

This project’s objective is to upgrade the existing water infrastructure along Stockwell Avenue between Richter Street and Ethel Street. The existing cast iron watermain, susceptible to costly breaks, will be abandoned in favour of a new PVC main which will also have new services connected to each property. Additionally, the roadway will be urbanized as part of the works which includes a new storm water management system, curbs & gutter.

Central Rutland Sanitary Sewer Connection Area

Extension of sanitary sewer mains and services to properties still on septic systems.  West and Northeast Phases are now complete which include roads on the west side of Rutland Road and East side of Rutland Road from Prior to Scarboro. All properties that were in these phases can now connect to sewer. Work will be completed on the Southeast phase in 2025 which includes Belgo, Princess, Bell, Clarissa, Jupiter, Lucas and Villa Vista. Connection to sewer will be ready starting summer 2025 as work is sequenced and completed.

North End Sanitary Catchment Realignment - Phase 2

This multi-year project will redirect the sanitary flows within the local catchment from the Guy Street Lift Station to the Brandt’s Creek Lift Station on Ethel St at Weddell Pl to balance flow patterns.
In 2025, Phase 2 will continue the installation of new sanitary sewer main along Bay Ave from Pettigrew St.  The project will continue east toward the Lane East of Richter St.  The project will then head north up the lane east of Richter St as far as the time will allow before the contractor will have to halt for the season.

Reekie PRV Upgrade

This project will oversee the replacement of the aging Reekie pressure reducing valve (PRV) station with a new facility that meets the current demands on Kelowna's non-potable irrigation water infrastructure. The new above ground facility will also address maintenance and safety issues currently experienced with the existing buried station.

Royal View Transmission Mainline

This capital project will oversee the installation of a new, large diameter water transmission main from the Knox Mountain Reservoirs and will tie-in with existing water infrastructure at the Ethel St and Weddell Pl intersection. Once complete, this new main will help provide additional conveyance capacity and a dedicated source of drinking water to the areas south and east of downtown. As the demand for potable water continues, the new main will be a critical replacement to the currently undersized Royal View Transmission main located atop a slope with known slide risk.
