standby equipment put in place.
The boil water notice for Black Sage (system 2) was terminated July 12.
Work with McMullens continues for Tucelnuit pump house workplace safety procedures.
Upgrades for Hillside/ Hollow and Veterans area continue. Work includes water main re-

with the exception of Manganese in Miller Rd well. As manganese is classified as an
Aesthetic Objective, the result is not a concern at this time and poses no adverse health
risks at the current levels.

South Okanagan & Similkameen Energy Diet (SOED)
1. Project Description:
Based on the success and framework of the Rossland and Kootenay Energy Diet pilots, the South
Okanagan & Similkameen Energy Diet (SOED) will promote energy efficiency and conservation to
homeowners in the South Okanagan & Similkameen FortisBC service area. The high-impact
promotion is meant to overcome first barriers to homeowners making energy efficiency
improvements, and would include:
An intensive information and marketing campaign to encourage homeowners to make
energy efficiency improvements to their homes (i.e., heating system, building insulation,
and air sealing improvements)
Reduced cost home energy assessments and access to the LiveSmart BC and FortisBC
rebate and finance programs
A local energy coach to promote the program and provide residents personalized service
and information
The primary benefits to participating homeowners are the on-going reduction of energy costs and
increased comfort in their homes. Greenhouse gases will also be reduced.
2. Project Goals and Objectives:
The goals of the project are two-fold: 1) to overcome the identified barriers to reducing energy use
amongst homeowners; and 2) to help customers mitigate high energy (electricity and natural gas)
bills.
Based on these two broad project goals the objectives of the SOED are:
To have a minimum of 4 percent (1000) of homeowners access an NRCan Certified Energy
Assessment
To have a minimum of 3 percent (800) of homeowners make home energy improvements
and access the LiveSmart BC and FortisBC rebates
To have 5 percent (40) of SOED participants access the FortisBC low-interest loan program
To actively promote energy conservation and efficiency to all residents in the South
Okanagan and Similkameen
To engage local and regional media to create a fun and informational campaign about
energy efficiency and conservation
3. South Okanagan & Similkameen Energy Diet – Project Area:
The SOED Project Area includes the South Okanagan and Similkameen communities and the
Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen. The following outlines the timelines of each community
launch:
September Princeton, Penticton, Keremeos, Summerland, Oliver, Osoyoos
October Naramata, Okanagan Falls

4. Strategy/Tactics:
The SOED is a “made in the South Okanagan and Similkameen experience” for the residential
customers of the FortisBC service area (not including those in multi-unit residential buildings). There
will be eight community campaigns, each with a six to eight week roll out phase and 12 to 18 week
follow-up phase to encourage participants to complete their energy efficiency improvements within
the rebate program timelines. Each phase includes:
Presentations to municipal councils and the regional board to seek their support.
Presentations to local contractors to provide background information and to seek their
support to help promote the program.
Presentations (“ener-ventions”) in each community to provide information and to seek
homeowner participation. At each roll out, home owners and landlords are encouraged to
register for a residential $60 Home Energy Assessment. (The regular cost is $350-400. The
Ministry of Energy and Mines and FortisBC are subsidizing the costs.) Self-identified low-
income households will receive the energy assessment and energy efficiency measures for
free.
The sequence of events that occurs after a homeowner signs up to participate is:
A home energy assessment appointment is scheduled. The home energy assessment is
performed by a Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) Certified Energy Assessor and includes
installation of energy efficiency products, such as: low flow shower head and kitchen tap
aerators.
Homeowner receives a LiveSmart BC Energy Efficiency Evaluation Report, an EnerGuide
Home Energy Rating, a recommendation of retrofits and behaviour changes the homeowner
could do to achieve energy savings, as well as information about all LiveSmart BC and
FortisBC rebates and the low-interest, long- amortization on-bill financing option.
A local energy coach will make follow up contact with homeowners (via telephone and/or
email) to answer any of the homeowner’s questions, and to offer assistance and general
encouragement. The homeowner will be encouraged to undertake energy retrofits within
the next 3 month period.
Once the energy retrofits are completed, the home owner schedules a post energy
assessment (approx $150 fee). The certified energy assessor will verify that the retrofit
measures were safely and correctly installed and will provide a new EnerGuide rating for the
home. He will also complete all paperwork required to apply for the rebates.
The homeowner will receive the rebates in the mail within 6 to 8 weeks afterwards.
The homeowner enjoys a more comfortable home and reduced energy bills. It is highly likely
that the value of the home increases as well.
A wrap up event/celebration will be planned at the end of the Energy Diet program.

5. Council / Board resolutions and involvement:
The municipal Councils and the Board of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen will be
invited to conduct resolutions:
Resolution of general support for the program
Resolution to contribute to the South Okanagan & Similkameen Energy Diet to reduce the
initial cost of the home energy assessments (further information on this option is below)
Councils and Board will also be invited to:
Speak at the community information session (“Ener-vention”) on the Energy Diet
Participate in a challenge with other local governments of the Regional District of the
Okanagan-Similkameen, to see who can get the most residents to participate in reducing
their bills
Spread the word through other means, as the local government sees fit
Participate personally in the Energy Diet
6. Local offset opportunity:
Local governments that invest in the Energy Diet (either financially or in-kind), may use the resulting
greenhouse gas reductions against their corporate emissions, which can therefore count towards the
goal of corporate carbon neutrality.
FortisBC and the Community Energy Association have worked with LiveSmart BC and BC Hydro to
reach an agreement regarding this for the term of the current LiveSmart BC program (until March
2014).
To take advantage of this opportunity, in other Energy Diets local governments are typically choosing
to provide a small subsidy to help reduce the cost of the initial assessment as the initial cost is the
main barrier to program participation. In FortisBC’s Kootenay Energy Diet, contributions currently
range from a $10 subsidy for up to 25 residences (Midway), to a $25 subsidy for up to 100 residences
(Grand Forks, Trail, and Rossland). The more homes that participate in a program locally, the more
retrofits will be completed and the greater the greenhouse gas reductions.
Note that this is not a 'marketable offset', rather a local reduction project with a specific protocol
and reporting procedure. For further information see the following signed letter from LiveSmart BC.
7. Suggested opportunity for Oliver:
Suggested subsidy and justification
It is suggested that Oliver provide a $25 subsidy for up to 70 residences. This figure has been arrived
at because the South Okanagan & Similkameen Energy Diet intends to have 4% of the residences in
the RDOS go through an initial audit, which for Oliver is approximately 70 (note that the program
excludes multi-unit residential buildings). This is a smaller subsidy compared to what some of the
communities in the Kootenay Energy Diet are offering, relative to population size. The average
ITEM G. - 2.
Page 44 of 116
1975 Springfield Road
Kelowna, BC V1Y 7V7
Fortisbc.com
4
population of the 3 communities in the Kootenay Energy Diet that are offering a $25 subsidy for 100
residences is 5,074, and the population of Oliver is only slightly less than this.
Of the 70 homes, it would be expected that approximately 60 would conduct improvements and
conduct the final assessment to obtain the rebates and have their savings validated.
Community economic impact
In addition, a significant co-benefit to the project is the community economic impact.
Home energy retrofits in 60 homes are estimated to result in approximately $200,000 in household
expenditures in the local economy, at approximately $3,700 per house (based on the Rossland
Energy Diet experience).
The cumulated annual energy savings from all the homes will be in the order of a few tens of
thousands of dollars per year. If energy prices continue to increase, savings would increase.
