INFORMATION RELEASE

Early 2026 has been identified as the transition timeline for the Skaha Estates Improvement District (SEID) utilities from the current owner to the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS). The Regional District has been working with the owner to develop a transition plan, which includes transferring permits, licenses, and documentation.

“With this decision made, the community can now move forward with a greater sense of certainty and direction,” said Matt Taylor, electoral area “D” director. “I look forward to continued work with the SEID Board and RDOS staff, towards the new objective of a timely conversion and in due course towards the provision of safe, clean water throughout the community of Skaha Estates.”

During the transition period, the RDOS will conduct further assessments of the utility, including its systems, facilities, and operations. High-level consideration of alternatives to the current system will also be reviewed. A subsequent plan will be developed to integrate the utility into RDOS operations. No service changes are anticipated during the transition period. Billing rates and timelines are still being determined. More information will be published as it becomes available, and a mail-out will be sent to residents and property owners in fall 2025.
