The water issue here in Sechelt has been ongoing for years. Our water comes from 2 lakes at the top of the watershed and with the drying trend the water level has dropped. The population boom up here has increased demand, and our inadequate system is not keeping up. There's been several ideas over the last few years like deepening the waterway from the lake to the creek to draw deeper from the lake, connecting the lakes via pumps as well as money spent on researching well sites for a secondary source of water. Unfortunately its just years and years of $$$$ spent, with ZERO action taken. We'll be stage 3 water restrictions again, with a chance of stage 4 (again).
That's not even mentioning the poor fish in the creek. The poor creek. Its a really bad scene.
I found in funny the other year when vancouver was on water restrictions and Kamloops had none. It's just a lack of planning and action in various forms of government.
