Warm spring, early fire season, prompts Okanagan mayors to gather & urge water conservation

May 11, 2016

Kelowna, B.C. – On the heels of last summer’s extreme drought, and with the possibility of another one this summer, valley mayors gathered this morning to challenge each other and their residents to conserve water in what is known as Canada’s most water-stressed region. It was all part of the launch of the Okanagan’s annual valley-wide outdoor water conservation campaign “Make Water Work.”

Make Water Work is an initiative of the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB)’s Okanagan WaterWise program, developed and delivered in partnership with local governments and utilities throughout the valley.
