Sept 2021 - UPDATE

The majority of the works required for the Trepanier Interconnect have been successfully installed. The contractor recently completed pressure testing of the mainline and is now moving into the flushing, disinfection and bacteriological testing phase. Once this portion of the project is completed, the final connections can be made on Trepanier Bench Rd; allowing for the final lift of pavement to be installed. The paving is anticipated to be completed by late October / early November. After the final connection is completed, commissioning will ensue; the final step to providing the Trepanier area with water sourced from the new Water Treatment Plant.

The above is a promotional video made by Hall Constructors focussing around the steep slope works to install the Trepanier Interconnect piping. Fairly common work in the forestry industry but not so much for work around Peachland!

The District of Peachland has been awarded a grant of $4.9 million, for the construction of the Trepanier Creek Water System Interconnect project, from the Federal Gas Tax Fund.

The Trepanier Creek Water System Interconnect is an integral component of the Water Treatment Facility project which is getting underway this year. In an effort to extend treated water to all the community’s water users, an interconnect between the Peachland Creek water system and Trepanier Creek water system is required. This project is a key element of the District of Peachland’s Water Master Plan, and will ensure the provision of clean, treated water that meets or exceeds Provincial Drinking Water Objectives.

The Trepanier Interconnect Project will connect the Peachland Creek and Trepanier Creek water systems. The project consists of approximately 2.5 km of water main. Trepanier Interconnect Project Notes will help answer some frequently asked questions.

Trepanier Interconnect Environmental Assessment was completed in April of 2020. The report is based on desktop research as well as field reconnaissance.
