The Regional District of North Okanagan is asking farmers in its jurisdiction to sign up for its water supply e-alert service.
By signing up for the technology, agricultural water customers won’t have to wait for the mail.
Several of the area’s water utilities have teamed up with the Okanagan Basin Water Board and BC Agriculture and Food Climate Action Initiative to improve communication about water supply.
“Signing up for the service was quick, and it’s great to be able to choose how I receive alerts—email, text or voicemail,” vegetable and tree fruit producer Tom Ouchi said in a press release. “I appreciate the reminder for getting my meter set up in the spring, and the supply updates throughout the year give me the confidence that I’m making decisions for my farm with the complete information.”
Producers will receive reminders for turn-on and turn-off dates, and notifications when water use allocation information is updated on AgConnect.
Farmers can sign up for the e-alert here.
