CSRD to seek $650,000 loan for water infrastructure work

SALMON ARM — The Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) said it will seek a loan of up to $650,000 for the MacArthur-Reedman Heights Waterworks after an Alternative Approval Process (APP) faced no opposition.

CSRD officials said the APP had zero responses, indicating no opposition to the proposed borrowing.

An APP needs at least 10 per cent of residents to voice their opposition to a proposed bylaw to be abandoned.

“For MacArthur-Reedman Heights Waterworks Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 5934, 2026, the number of valid elector responses required to prevent the Board from proceeding with its establishment was 14. The number of valid elector response forms received by the CSRD in opposition to the service was zero,” said CSRD officials.
