Pumping water up the Vernon Hill
Pumping water up the Vernon HillVernon, BC, June 2017
City water will be piped to the first of two pumphouses at lower elevation then delivered to 622 meters to a new subdivision in Vernon with incredible views. BI Pure assisted KWL in the design of Grundfos pumps at 107 USGPM to deliver the water; in the second pumphouse the chlorine content is assessed and boosted as needed by a BI Pure Water chlorinator, before distribution to homes. Care is taken to preserve the quality of Vernon city water. BI Pure Water delayed the delivery of the pumphouses until late June as the municipality is managing extreme spring flooding issues.
