Water main upgrade will impact Main Street traffic

PENTICTON – The City is making preparations in advance of the Penticton Regional Hospital patient care tower expansion project, beginning next week.

Water main installation work will take place on Main Street at Carmi Avenue, beginning Monday, June 29. The project, which is necessary to provide adequate water for the upcoming hospital expansion, is expected to take two days and will reduce Main Street traffic to two lanes.

Carmi Avenue will be the route used for temporary road closures and detours in order to assist with the water main installation.

Residents are asked to obey traffic control personnel and posted speed limits through the work and detour areas.

Anyone with questions regarding the work should contact the City Engineering Department at 250-490-2500.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
