Welcome to the Official Website of Otter Lake Water District

Our Mission

At Otter Lake Water District, we are committed to providing safe, high quality water services to our community, while maintaining a standard of excellence in customer service and environmental conservation.

Billing

Otter Lake Water District Ratepayers are billed annually through your Municipal taxes with the Municipality of Spallumcheen.  This will include an annual tax of $425.00, a base rate of $220.00 plus your metered tolls.  All fees are due July 4 of each calendar year.

The increase for the tax rate this year is due to not enough being collected for the amortization of our system.  The Board of Trustees felt it should pass Bylaw 166 to increase the taxes by $100. It's a small step, but an important one.
