ROTHENBURGER: City has some explaining to do on Noble Creek water system
KAMLOOPS — IT WILL TAKE the wisdom of Solomon to sort out the Noble Creek water mess.
The dilemma is familiar to anyone on a small rural water system. The difference is that the Noble Creek system in question is for irrigation.
The City of Kamloops, which inherited it around the time of amalgamation in the 1970s, wants out. According to the City, it costs taxpayers about a quarter of a million dollars a year to operate and brings in only 10 or 15 per cent of that in water tolls.
