## Resource

Cranbrook is pouring nearly $13 million into a new UV disinfection facility at Phillips Reservoir to dramatically boost drinking water safety and avoid a $100+ million filtration plant down the road. This dual-barrier system, funded by federal and provincial grants and city cash, aims to meet future demand for 75 years — while fixing long-standing complaints about murky, smelly water. Residents like Emily McRae, who’s seen years of inconsistent monitoring, are hopeful, though officials admit surface water challenges like runoff and heat affect taste. The facility, set to launch by fall 2027, won’t overhaul daily water experience — but promises cleaner, better-tasting water and smarter, cost-saving infrastructure for decades.
