What an impressive project City of West Kelowna , all that were involved should be proud!
We’re proud to announce that our Rose Valley Water Treatment Plant and Transmission Mains project has won Project of the Year from the Public Works Association of British Columbia! 🏆 This award highlights the project’s innovative design and commitment to enhancing water treatment capacity while adhering to high safety standards and preserving the environment. Although the plant remains in the Commissioning Phase and the City continues to work through challenges with unprecedented wildfire damage around the Rose Valley Reservoir, water quality would have been significantly worse without the plant during seasonal changeovers in the reservoir. Thanks to federal and provincial support, we’ve been able to deliver this state-of-the-art facility years earlier than originally expected. 💧✨ Let’s celebrate this achievement and our ongoing commitment to excellence in public works! 📸: Shown, from left to right, are Councillors Jason Friesen and Tasha Da Silva, Acting Director of Engineering and Operations Rob Hillis, Mayor Gord Milsom, Public Works Manager Chris Anderson and Councillors Garrett Millsap and Rick de Jong. #PWABC #RWVTP #WestKelowna
