The Board approved an application for a Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund grant in the amount of $212, 500 which is 50 per cent of the total capital cost to upgrade the watermain extension to the Revelstoke Airport. Manager of Environment & Engineering Gary Holte told the Board the airport is currently serviced by the City of Revelstoke but the age, condition and size of the water pipe render it inadequate. If the grant is approved, there are sufficient funds in the airport capital reserve to supply 50 per cent for the project.

Following a successful public assent process, the Board adopted a bylaw that extends the boundary of the Sorrento waterworks to include the former Copperview waterworks service area. The two communities are now connected through a watermain that runs along the Trans Canada Hwy. The Board gave three readings to a bylaw that will include seven properties along the watermain right-of-way into the Sorrento waterworks as well.
