On October 5, 2017, Corix Utilities was authorized by the Office of the Deputy Comptroller of Water Rights to move ahead with the proposed Groundwater Source Development Program.
We are now finalizing cost estimates and the design, which will also be subject to approval by the Deputy Comptroller before construction begins. After final approval from the Deputy Comptroller, we will begin construction. We will continue to provide updates as construction begins and progresses.

About the Groundwater Source Development Program
Corix Utilities is undertaking a program to secure a new drinking water supply for the Panorama community. The Groundwater Source Development Program is necessary for Corix to meet the requirements of Interior Health Authority’s Drinking Water Quality Improvement Program, to replace aging infrastructure and to ensure the long-term security of a safe drinking water source for the utility and its customers.
The purpose of this program is to develop a new drinking water source for the Panorama community so that customers consistently and reliably receive drinking water that meets Interior Health’s water quality requirements and Health Canada’s Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality. Associated with the implementation of a new drinking water source is the construction of infrastructure for the transportation of raw water from the well source to a new reservoir and improvements to associated infrastructure.
The following summary outlines the key steps required to implement the program, the stages completed to date and the proposed schedule for implementation of the new system:
