The Kaleden Irrigation District or "KID" has developed this water Website to provide information on Kaleden's drinking and irrigation water for our south Okanagan community.

The KID is an Improvement District under the umbrella of the Ministry of Community, Aboriginal and and Women's Services (formerly Municipal Affairs). Our drinking and irrigation water system is managed by five elected Board of Trustees and two staff members.

The District is the largest water purveyor on the west side of Skaha Lake and is located approximately halfway between Penticton and Okanagan Falls. Skaha Lake, the water source, supplies irrigation and domestic use for this rugged, steeply inclined terrain. Considered semi-arid, this area relies heavily on water for it's existence. 

We operate a water system for both domestic and irrigation use for approximately 550 residential connections and 156 hectares (386 acres) acres of agricultural land. Components of the existing distribution system include an intake pump station on Skaha Lake, three balancing reservoirs, two booster pump stations,  a pressure reducing station and a network of pipelines.

Aside from its main purpose, the KID also provides and maintains fire hydrants and operates and maintains the Kaleden Cemetery.
