The Strathcona Regional District board has given the go ahead for a bulk water connection for the Tlowitsis Reserve located south of the city.

 The proposal is that the city provide bulk water to the Tlowitsis First Nation, which will be delivered to a point of connection in the city’s infrastructure. At that point, the system will be controlled by the First Nation.

 According to a staff report, the proposed system would not use any SRD infrastructure or impact the SRD’s agreement with the city.
