Council approves water leak billing adjustment best practices JOANNE LAYH Cops for Kids/11

Last week district council approved best practices for staff to follow regarding water bill reimbursement when a homeowner experiences a leak on their property.

The best practices would offer property owners some water billing reimbursement following a leak, provided the leak is repaired within 14 days of recognition or notification and documentation of the repair is submitted to the district along with a Water Leak Adjustment Request Continued on Page 3

Utility bills now state if metering system has detected a leak Continued from Page 1

form within 30 days of leak recognition. The customer’s account must be in good standing at the time of the request, and if the request is approved, the utility account will be adjusted to mirror the previous year’s water use for the same period of time. If the property is new or has no previous water use history, district staff will use a comparative property’s water use history for the same period.

The issue came to the fore after a leaky pipe resulted in a utility bill thousands of dollars higher than expected for one homeowner, leading Peachland council to consider if the municipality should have a water loss reimbursement policy.

The property owner of 3912 Desert Pines Avenue came to council seeking a $3,391.09 reimbursement from the municipality following a significant water leak going back to problems that began last year. The leak was repaired as soon as the homeowner became aware of it.

“I think that this policy should apply

from now on and that we should make an exception in the case of [the owner of 3912] Desert Pines because that was the problem that precipitated the whole debate, discussion and desire to fix the problem now and in the future,” Councillor Keith Fielding said.

Not everyone on council was confident that the policy direction was the correct route to take.

“What are the implications going to be financially for the district and our ability to deliver services and provide amenities moving forward if we wish to move down this road? Again, I’ve stated that I believe that private property should remain under the responsibility of the property owner, right? But I seem to be in the minority in that position,” Councillor Mike Kent said.

District council had returned the matter back to staff several times over the past few months to get more information or request adjustments to the policy being proposed.

While council hasn’t yet come to a policy agreement, they were able to reach consensus about best practices

The District of Peachland makes no representation express or implied as to the condition or quality of the properties being for sale. Prospective purchasers are urged to inspect the properties and make all necessary inquiries to municipal and other government departments and, in the case of strata lots to the strata corporation, to determine the existence of any bylaws, restrictions, charges or other conditions that may affect the value or suitability of the property.

Purchasers of tax sale properties should be aware that they will not have the right to receive title or possession until after a period of one year has elapsed following the date of sale. During the one-year period, the registered owner(s) of the property or the owner(s) of a registered charge may redeem the property thus canceling the sale. In that event, the purchaser would be entitled to receive a refund of the amount paid together with interest to the date of redemption as provided in Sec. 660 of the Local Government Act. ONLY CASH, CERTIFIED CHEQUES OR BANK DRAFTS WILL BE ACCEPTED IN PAYMENT. The purchase of a tax sale property is subject to tax under the Property Transfer Tax Act on the fair market value of the property.

staff should follow until a permanent policy is in place.

When considering how to proceed, district council reviewed what policies or practices neighbouring communities have adopted with respect to reimbursement for costs related to a private water service water leak and

the majority of council members favoured a policy similar to what West Kelowna has in place.

As a result of this discussion, on the last round of utility bills district staff began including leak information that will serve as notification to homeowners.

Privacy likely to elude community dwellers LYONEL DOHERTY Put yourself in Dana and Peter Broz’s shoes: You buy a nice house on a private lot on a quiet culdesac. Your backyard has a sky blue pool and a tall cedar hedge to maintain that lovely feeling of seclusion.

Then one day someone takes out the fence behind your hedge without consulting you and your dog escapes.

The next thing you see is a building towering over your hedge and four windows cut into the wall where the new homeowners will be able to watch your every move (and maybe catch a glimpse of you skinny dipping).

You can’t help but think you’ve been unfairly treated, and you wonder how any bylaw could allow this to happen.

Furthermore, will your property value suffer as a result? Will anyone want to buy your home now that a carriage house looms over your hedge?

On the flip side, you can’t really expect privacy unless you live in the rural area.

As for swimming in the nude, that may or may not be legal these days; check your local bylaws [snicker].

The reality is if you choose to live in a town or city, privacy will likely elude you on a daily basis.

If you live adjacent to a subdivided property, you shouldn’t be shocked or surprised to wake up one day to see a building taller than your cedar hedge.

That’s progress.

Fortunately, in this case, the contractor shares

the concern about privacy and says he plans to address it by changing the layout of the windows.

Many builders would scoff at this and not bother to do it. So, hats off to this contractor who wants to be a good neighbour. But it remains to be seen if he follows through with the plan.

No doubt the family moving into this building will value its privacy too, so the Brozs shouldn’t have much to worry about. Life is too busy to be spying on the neighbours, anyway.

We all desire privacy, don’t we? But we automatically give some of that up when we move into a residential area.

I get a little self-conscious when I know my next door neighbours can see me reading on my couch at night.

One night my wife was cleaning out our birds in the sunroom when she heard a wolf whistle from next door. She apparently observed a man looking at her. Creepy but harmless.

There was talk in the office about the legality of being nude on your own property (backyard, for example). It is unlikely that charges would ever stick in a court of law, but if it was proven that you intended to be seen in your birthday suit, you could be in trouble.

Best to keep your clothes on while gardening or taking a dip in your pool. Wouldn’t want to give people the wrong impression.

OPINION

Resident grateful for hwy help I love Peachland and its residents; last week John B. of Paradise Valley area stopped along the Connector to help out a fellow traveller in need. I was alone in a windstorm, wrestling with a box spring and mattress and other items that had blown off the pick up into the median

with tears down my face muttering curses at my husband and his bungee cords!

John stopped, secured my load and sent me on my way. Got to love a small town!

Thankful, yet embarrassed Peachland resident

Bar should be higher for water The District of Peachland recently asked the minister of forests to stop clear cut logging in our watersheds long enough to do a comprehensive study.

It is not surprising that one month later the same ministry’s toothless watchdog, the Forestry Practices Board, hustled out a report saying only past logging and road building practices are to blame for reductions in the community drinking water quality, quantity and timing of flow. ATVs, cattle and mining too are at fault, but current logging practices are only a minor threat, according to this investigative arm of the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resources Operations and Rural Development.

By continuing to do the minimum necessary to protect our water and other watershed values while profiting on timber harvesting, the four current licensees operating within Peachland watershed boundaries are meeting their legal obligations under the Forest and Range Practices Regulations (FRPA). They are legally squeaking under the bar because according to the Forest Practices Board, it was not possible to differentiate between forestry and non-forestry impacts.

This is the problem: the outdated FRPA regulations that allow toxins to be spilt into our water supply so long as our municipality can afford to dump chlorine back into it until it is drinkable for human standards. This is fine, according to provincial regulations.

The logging industry is King in BC; your drinking water, a distant second.

DDT and diesel can be poured downstream but if it is treatable by a water purveyor at the

BELL, JACOE & CO. R0060892355 PV06

taps or if there could be more than one culprit, it seems it is all fine with the province.

Our city council has seen the watershed.

First Nation Elders have seen the watershed.

They both have demanded a pause in aggressive logging activities until an independent review of the watershed integrity is performed.

Communities across BC deal with this all the time. For years we have battled for our water and essentially the response seems to be, “You have no right to clean water, you only have the obligation to clean up the muck industry delivers you.”

Licensees pretend to accommodate local concerns, but nothing substantial transpires.

Cumulative impacts are all downloaded as somebody else’s problem, and that somebody is always the local community. An entire collection of resource industries are enabled by toothless watchdogs like FPB. If it was actually safe to industrial log in a community watershed then Vancouver and Victoria would be one massive clear cut too!

In spite of everything we can see with our own eyes, all the science and just plain common sense, the FPB had no choice but to write the report they did. That is the problem.

The system is broken: we know it, our council knows it, the licensees know it and the provincial government knows it, so, now let’s fix it and give municipalities a say in the activities permitted in community watershed where supplying clean, abundant, consistent drinking water should be the dominant use.

Let’s set the bar for water security higher.

Robert Taylor, Peachland

Pro-resource, but still concerned If one were to consider moose populations as reflective of all wildlife species in our area, Ron Barkwill may have a point. Moose do indeed appreciate logged areas and we have a lot of that in and around us.

But science says moose do not reflect all ungulates, nor all wildlife. The negative effects of our resource extraction and road densities on wildlife populations are only beginning to be fully understood. And poorly understood because wildlife is poorly funded by our government.

Of particular note in this area is the decline of mule deer populations and current local studies are underway to assess the variables affecting their dropping numbers.

We have crowded and cornered our wildlife and forests with human population, climate change and resource extraction pressure to the point that there is concern about habitat capacity of the areas we have reduced these animals

to, combined with ease of access by both human and predators.

One need only look at a map of our logged watershed upwards to the Connector and beyond to see how our resources roads and resource development are highly likely affecting our wildlife populations similarly, not just our water quality.

Add in healthy predator populations such as bears, cougars and wolves and the concern regarding our wildlife in this area are indeed very real.

Unfortunately, a healthy population of one species is not a reliable indicator of healthy populations in all species.

I am pro-resource in our province.

However, in my opinion, there are significant negative effects from resource extraction and development as it relates to all wildlife (and watersheds) that we are only just beginning to understand.

Keep up the good work Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance.

Chamber to host Creative Ignition exhibition The Peachland Chamber of Commerce will present Creative Ignition, an inaugural two-day event art Peachland Historic School and Visitor Centre.

Creative Ignition will run Sept. 27-28 from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m., featuring a variety of works from local, yet world-renowned talent, including Geert Maas, Alex Fong and Lee

Claremont among others. Admission is free to the public.

An opening night event including a performance by jazz duo Neville Bowman and Bernie Addington will take place Sept. 27 at 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $15, with all proceeds donated to the Bat Education & Ecological Protection Society (BEEPS).

Forest Practices Board says logging not a major factor in Peachland water issues JOANNE LAYH BC’s Forest Practices Board says it has conducted an investigation into the impacts of forestry activities on drinking water from the Peachland and Trepanier watersheds and has found that forest licensees did a good job of minimizing the impacts of logging on water and that natural process played a much larger role in the boil water advisories that Peachland has experienced in recent years.

The Forest Practices Board is B.C.’s independent watchdog for sound forest and range practic-es.

Their investigation was conducted in response to a complaint from a member of the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance and follows a letter sent back on June 26 by Mayor Cindy Fortin to Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development Minister Doug Don-aldson requesting a pause in forestry activities until a comprehensive watershed assessment had

been conducted.

In her letter, Fortin expressed concern that the cumulative effects of harvesting, droughts, fires and climate change are having negative effects on Peachland’s water quality and the quantity of flow in its watersheds. Fortin wrote, “Our elected officials and the Healthy Watersheds Committee do not support any additional approvals for cutblocks in the Peachland watersheds until a complete watershed assessment has been conducted and a stakeholder engagement plan for future logging activities in in place.”

Peachland gets its drinking water supply from the Peachland and Trepanier watersheds, along with Okanagan Lake.

In a press release issued last week, Kevin Kriese, chair of the Forest Practices Board, attributed water quality issues primarily to spring runoff activity.

“There was high snow accumulation and significant rainfall events during the spring snowmelt of 2017 and 2018 that led to

increases in the amount of sediment in the water,” Kriese said. “The investigation also confirmed that a landslide that led to a boil water advisory was the re-sult of natural stream dynamics and saturated soils and was not caused by forestry activity.”

However, Kriese also said other factors played a role – including logging.

“In addition to natural processes, the investigation found other developments and activities that may be contributing sediment to streams and potentially affecting water quality.

These include roads built prior to current road construction standards, logging, ranching, mining and agriculture, as well as commercial and public recreation, private properties, a power line and Highway 97C”, Kriese said.

Kriese also pointed to the auditor general’s recent report on drinking water that identifies “sys-tematic gaps in accountability and coordination for drinking water protection.”

“While forestry and

range activities are regulated by the Forest and Range Practices Act to minimize impacts to water quality and quantity, no one is responsible for managing the cumu-lative impacts of all activities in these watersheds,” said Kriese.

The Forest Practices Board say they commend the District of Peachland for initiating a tech-nical advisory group to coordinate and manage uses in the watershed.

COMMENTARY

From the Mayor’s Desk: Congratulations, Peachland residents Peachland residents recognized by Okanagan Basin Water Board for their efforts to conserve and protect the water of the Okanagan Valley MAYOR CINDY FORTIN Congratulations, and Did You Know?

Congratulations Peachlanders! At the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s annual general meeting it was announced that the District of Peachland are the 2019 Make Water Work Community Champions!

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Okanagan Basin Water Board’s “Make Water Work” challenge and pledged to conserve water at their homes.

We had a five-fold increase in the number of pledges from last year.

This means that the message is getting out there.

Peachlanders should feel proud for recognizing the importance of water conservation. Even the small things that we do to reduce our personal use of water does make a difference in the big picture.

Hopefully the day will come when we won’t need these contests anymore, as water conservation will just become the norm, the same way recycling has become a natural part of our day-to-day lives -- something that most of us don’t think twice

the pledge for a chance to win one of the many prizes, the Make Water Work contest for individuals will be continuing until late September. Go to makewaterwork.ca.

Did you know…?

• The Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB)

will be turning 50 years old next year; • The OBWB provides three core services: water management, milfoil control, and sewerage facilities assistance grants; • The OBWB was formed as a collaboration of the three Okanagan

regional districts to provide leadership on water issues that span the entire valley: sustainable water supplies, clean water drinking, and healthy lakes and streams; • Each of the three regional districts appoints three directors to the board. There is also one representative from the Okanagan Nation Alliance, the Water Supply Association of BC, and the Okanagan Water Stewardship Council on the board; • The water management program includes communications and outreach, the Water Stewardship Council, water conservation and quality improvement grants, and OBWB’s science and information projects, as well as work on floods and droughts; • Okanagan Waterwise and the Make Water Work program is part of their communications and outreach program, as is their Don’t Move a Mussel campaign (to prevent the invasive quagga and zebra mussels from entering our water bodies and destroying our lakes, aqua-infrastructure and beaches); • Other programs include: hydrology modeling, which studies the movement, distribution, and quality of water, floodplain mapping, drought response coordination, mainstream drought stage triggers project, water supply status outreach

Three staff conduct yearround operations cover more than 50 linear kilometers of milfoil beds on five major lakes. The harvesting (the cutting back of the milfoil) occurs during the warmer months, and the rototilling (or de-rooting) takes place in the winter months; and • 1n 2018 the OBWB’s Sewerage Facilities Assistance Grants surpassed $65 million in grant fund to Okanagan communities for sewer system improvements.

These grants, first awarded in the 1970’s, provide funding to move neighbourhoods off of failing septic systems and onto modern tertiary treatment systems, managed by local governments.* *All of this information and more can be found in their 2019 annual report “One Valley, One Water”.

How to travel even if you have limited mobility Many people dream of travelling the world in retirement. Such dreams come true every day. But many more retirees or people nearing retirement fear that their dreams of seeing the world won’t be possible due to mobility issues beyond their control. Thankfully, such fears are largely unwarranted.

Various conditions can affect men and women’s mobility. Many such issues tend to arise after age 50, prompting many people to believe their post-retirement travel plans will never come to fruition. Conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD and heart disease may make it hard for people to travel. But that difficulty doesn’t mean aging men and women should resign themselves to a sedentary lifestyle. Though they might require a little extra effort before boarding a plane for parts unknown, the following are a handful of ways that aging men and women with limited mobility can reap the rewards of travelling.

• Contact airlines or other transportation companies if you require special accommodations. The U.S. Department of Transportation notes that passengers are generally not required to provide advanced notice for disability-related accommodations. However, it makes sense to provide such notice anyway. By doing so, men and women with limited mobility can ensure they will have adequate assistance during their trips. When made aware of passengers’ mobility issues, airlines or oth-

er travel companies may arrange for wheelchairs to be available at the gates or train platforms so passengers can easily make connecting f lights and trains. In addition, advance notice gives companies a chance to provide seating accommodations that can make for a more enjoyable trip.

• Contact security agencies. Security is part of modern travel, so travellers, especially those travelling by air, should expect to go through security checkpoints during their trips. Travellers with limited mobility should contact the security agencies in their home country as well as those in any country they plan to visit to get an idea of what they can expect. Knowing these guidelines in advance can help people with limited mobility determine if they should arrive extra early so they can make it through security checkpoints in time to make their f lights or trains.

• Contact hotels directly. Each country has its own laws regarding how to accommodate people with physical disabilities or mobility issues, so don’t leave things to chance. Before booking a hotel room abroad, travellers with limited mobility should contact the hotel directly to confirm that it can accommodate their needs.

Men and women with limited mobility can still enjoy the wonders of travel, even if it requires some extra effort before embarking on their trips.
