NARAMATA – Motorists driving to Naramata will be subject to a detour following the start of construction on the Naramata Water System Rehabilitation Project this week.

The construction is underway and is expected to last until the end of November resulting in a detour within the construction area on Naramata Road, according to a Regional District media release.

The detour will be in effect from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday, and requires the following traffic movements:
