May 9th, 2005: Peterhope Lake Potential
Water Shortage Crisis
A new lot of recreational housings has been developed by Peterhope
Lake Resort Development Inc. 30 homes are the new addition once
the entire development is finished. After 19 homes had been built,
a noticable problem arose. There is a water shortage and the well
that was drilled produces water that is not suitable for drinking.
Peterhope Lake Resort Development Inc. has applied to divert water
from Peterhope Lake. If the application is approved, 7,500 gallons
would be diverted from the lake, which will further damage this
already fragile ecosystem.
The application is currently being viewed by Regional Water Manager
of Kamloops, who has asked the public to provide feedbacks by May
13th. If you are an avid stillwater trout fisherman and concerned
about the potential damage this development may do, you can write
to:
Assistant Regional Water Manager
145-3rd Avenue
3rd Floor
Kamloops, B.C. V2C 3M1
Here are two letters that have been sent to express their concerns.
