A Request for Proposal (RFP) has been issued for a conceptual design plan to restore water supply to the aquifers that feed the downstream communities of Baynes Lake and Elko.

“This is an important step forward in this critical project and in getting sustained access to drinking water for these communities,” said Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) Electoral Area B Director Stan Doehle. “This is a long process, but this is an important step forward.”
The Request for Proposals closes on July 12, with the successful proponent’s plan to be completed by November 19. The conceptual design is intended to identify, assess, and recommend various options for restoring the supply of water to the Baynes Lake and Elko aquifers. It will include a detailed scope of work, an estimated cost, and a timeframe for implementation.
