A community consulting firm is asking, 鈥榃ater you doing, Spall?鈥�

Urban Systems, in partnership with the Township of Spallumcheen, is looking to get the word out about the critical importance of water conservation.

According to Urban Systems, the Okanagan has one of the highest rates of water use per person in Canada, meaning there is less water available per person in the Okanagan than anywhere else in the country.

Spall鈥檚 water primarily comes from creeks and aquifers, which are an essential source for both drinking water and agriculture. Overuse and contamination of those sources could lead to water shortages, reduced crop yields and environmental damages.

鈥淭he Township of Spallumcheen is committed to preserving local water resources to ensure a sustainable future, but we can鈥檛 do it alone,鈥� said mayor Christine Fraser. 鈥淲ater conservation is everyone鈥檚 responsibility and we all play a key role in protecting this important resource.鈥�

The Township is asking residents, businesses, and agricultural producers to take a proactive step towards a sustainable future for the regions water. This includes embracing modern irrigation technologies, fixing leaks, using water efficient appliances and harvesting rainwater.

鈥淚f everyone does their part to use a little less water today, we can cultivate a brighter tomorrow for our crops and our community,鈥� added Fraser.
