Water Quality

Local health authorities have described the City of Kelowna Water Utility’s “source to tap” program as one of the best in British Columbia.

The water utility supplies water to more than 50,000 residents and more than 1,700 industrial, commercial and institutional properties in north, central and south Kelowna. The raw water source is Okanagan Lake.

Committed to protecting public, environmental and economic health, the utility’s source-to-tap water management approach includes watershed protection, water quality monitoring, treatment, distribution system maintenance, cross-connection control and water-use efficiency.

The City of Kelowna Water Utility is one of five water purveyors in Kelowna. (Please contact Glenmore-Ellison Improvement District, Black Mountain Irrigation District, Rutland Waterworks District and South East Kelowna Irrigation District for water quality information pertaining to their systems.)
