The Olalla Improvement District operates under the jurisdiction of Municipal Affairs
and presently supplies water to & 175 users. The existing water supply system
does not comply wi th Ministry of Health standards, provides no fire protection and
is in need of upgrading. Because of the costs involved in upgrading a water system
t o Ministry of Health standards and, in order t o access funds from the Canada-British
Columbia Infrastructure Works Program which offers 2/3 funding, the Olalla
Improvement District at a special meeting held on 20 April 1994 requested the RDOS
t o make the necessary application for funding on its behalf. If, and when, the
application for funding is successful and, subject t o a referendum on the issue, the
Olalla Water System will be taken over by the RDOS.

2.0 DESIGN PARAMETERS
2.1 GENERAL
The Olalla Improvement District currently services 175 lots with the area having
experienced some expansion over the past few years. Potential for growth is
discussed in Section 2.6.2 which can be enhanced by the establishment of a reliable
water supply.
2.2 WATER DEMANDS
The demand for water in a community varies hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and
seasonally. Typical water demands are depicted in the Figures 1 to 3 following. It
is common practice t o express these various demands as a consumption rate per
capita per day. The rate is determined by dividing the total demand from domestic,
industrial, commercial, and institutional users by the total serviced population and the
time over which the demand occurs in days.
A typical summer demand pattern for a predominantly residential community would,
for example, show increased water use during peak daylight hours due to the heavy
influence of lawn sprinkling. In comparison, typical winter peak demands are much
more dampened.
Three different periods of demand are used in the study to determine required
capacities of pumps, reservoirs and distribution mains. These are average annual,
maximum day and peak hour demands. As no information is available for Olalla,
these demands have been estimated using data available from other B.C. communities with similar climatic conditions.
For this study the following values have been used:

Peak Hour Demand

2.3 FIRE FLOW REQUIREMENTS
In addition t o meeting normal system demands, the system must be capable of
meeting possible fire demands. Required fire flows are determined using the
Canadian Fire Underwriters Survey, 1991, Water Supply for Public Fire Protection - "A Guide t o Recommended Practice". The volume of the fire stream required
depends on the size, use and construction of the buildings t o be protected and the
duration the stream must be maintained. Also the fire fighting equipment available
is considered.
For Olalla, a minimum fire f low of 500 US gpm for t w o hours duration has been
assumed. This is stated as a minimum amount in the FUS guidelines. However due
to the remote location of the district and local fire fighting capabilities, this could be
considered t o be adequate.
Hydrant spacing varies with the value and the density of the buildings being
protected. A generally accepted hydrant spacing is a maximum of 850 ft. (250 m)
and no residence should be more than 400 f t (125 m) from a hydrant. Hydrants
should be located at or near intersections and in the middle of long blocks.
2.4 PRESSURES
The service pressures of a domestic water system should normally be maintained
between 275 and 700 kPa (40-1 00 psi) though they may drop as low as 150 kPa (20
psi) during emergency conditions. In limited areas, localized pressures up t o 150 psi
could be used.
2-2
2.5 HYDRAULIC DESIGN
The supply capacity, reservoir and distribution system are usually sized based on the
following criteria:
SUDDIY:
0 Source should be capable of supplying the total annual demand.
0 Supply pumps should be capable of pumping the maximum day f low in less
than 18 hours. Although theoretically the pumps need only meet the
maximum day demand in 24 hours, increasing pump capacity t o meet the
demand in 18 hours allows a factor of safety for maintenance, emergency
demand conditions, etc. Generally, during peak hour periods of the maximum
day when demand exceeds the pumping rate, supplementary supply would
come from the balancing reservoir. The reservoir would then be refilled during
the night when demand is low. This type of operation allows more
economical pump sizing.
0 A water supply system is judged adequate if it is capable of maintaining a
minimum residual pressure of 140 kPa (20 psi) at ground level a t all points in
the system under all conditions of flow, including the fire flow.
Balancina Storaae
0 Reservoir capacity should be sufficient to store peak hour demands plus the
total fire f low requirements. The total peak hours volume in communities
generally varies between 15 and 30 percent of the total maximum day
demand, with smaller communities experiencing the greater peak volume. For
this study, a storage volume of 25 percent of the total maximum day demand
has been used.
2-3
A system is judged adequate i f sufficient water can be stored t o overcome
foreseeable interruptions in supply and restriction in supply capacity.
Distribution System
0 The distribution system should be capable of carrying the greater of maximum
day demand plus fire f low or peak hour demand without excessive line
velocities.
0 Pipe networks are considered satisfactory i f pipes are large enough for the
flows generated by demands t o pass through without excessive friction loss
being created and if they are looped so that alternate supply routes are
maintained if a section of line is taken out of service for maintenance or
repair. Valves must be provided to shut off and isolate sections of loops.
Typical piping network criteria are:
f low velocity to be less than 6 ft/sec (2.0 m/s)
minimum size main 6" (150 mm)
2.6 SERVICE REQUIREMENTS
2.6.1 Existing Service Requirements
Based on information provided by the District, 175 lots are presently serviced.

Population figures obtained from the Regional District for Olalla are listed below:
From 1986 t o 1991 there has been approximately 1 0 % per year growth and 3.1 %
growth for the period 1981 t o 199 1. This is greater than the annual growth rate of
2.3% per year (1966 t o 1993) for the Electoral Area G.
For the purposes of this study, it is assumed that the growth rate of 3.1 % p.a. will
continue. There will be & 600 people living in Olalla by the year 2004 A.D. which,
a t 2.5 people per household, will mean an additional 65 residences.

3.0 ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF SUPPLY
3.1 GENERAL
The community of Olalla consists of approximately 175 residential and commercial
properties and is presently serviced by t w o different water sources. A gravity supply
is provided from Olalla creek and this was the original system installed in 1965.
In the early 1980’s a well was drilled next to the Keremeos Creek/Olalla Creek
confluence at the lower end of the District. Problems with each of these sources are
outlined below.
Olalla Creek:

0 Dam and intake structure were partially rebuilt in early 1980’s but the

shallow and tends to fill up with silt and debris.
0 There is no upland storage on the Creek and therefore no control over flows
within the stream. Creek flows during the late summer are at a minimum but
have in the past met system demands. As growth occurs the creek source
may not be able t o meet increased demand.
a The Ministry of Health has placed a boil order on the District and water tests
consistently do not meet drinking water standards. There is no disinfection
of the creek source and the people of Olalla are not in favour of chlorine
disinfection.
0 Water is very turbid during spring freshet.
I I
0 Pressures a t the upper end of the system are below acceptable limits due t o
limited elevation difference between the intake and adjacent residences.
3- 1
Well Source:
0 The well is located in 7th Street adjacent the t w o creeks and is relatively
shallow.
0 While the quantity of water available from this well is good, the quality is very
poor. The water is very high in hydrogen sulphide and iron, and is not
considered potable.
Other components of the existing water system generally consist of the following:
0
0
15000 US gallon reservoir at the intake pond;
Distribution system consisting of 150 mm AC & PVC mains, 100 mm AC
mains and 75 mm and 50 mm PVC mains. In general, the distribution system
is undersized and cannot provide adequate fire flow.
Figure 4 indicates the existing water system components and a 1 :2000 scale drawing
hereof is appended to the report.
It is evident therefore that the existing water supply system is inadequate and must
be upgraded. As part of this study, groundwater hydrogeologists, Pacific Hydrology
Consultants Ltd. were appointed t o evaluate the groundwater supply potential for a
water system in Olalla and, in particular, to locate a groundwater source with a
capacity of 25.2 I/sec (400 US gpm). Their report in this regard is attached as
Appendix A. It concludes that hydrogeological conditions in the study area are
favourable for developing a source of 400 US gpm in the Olalla area.
There are therefore 3 alternative sources of supply available.

The required storage reservoir and distribution network t o provide fire flows are
common t o all alternatives and differences in any scheme will basically be related t o
water source.
These 3 alternate schemes are outlined below:
3.2 ALTERNATIVE 1 - UPGRADE EXISTING 7TH STREET WELL
The Well on 7 th Street has capacity of 500 US gpm which can meet the demand of
the Olalla Community. However, it has a water quality problem with reported high
levels of hydrogen sulphide and iron.
Both of these substances can be eliminated by treatment with chemicals but the
costs involved are prohibitive. Hydrogen sulphide can be stripped off by aeration
through an aeration tower and iron eliminated by oxidation and filtration. Oxidation
is effected by the addition of potassium permanganate and chlorine and a filtration
plant then filters out the iron precipitate.
This alternative has the following disadvantages:
0 the capital cost of a 500 US gpm treatment plant will be between $700,000
and $900,000;
it will involve the continuous dosing of water with chemicals;
it will be relatively labour intensive in that daily inspection/
monitoring/adjustment of chemical dosing will be necessary.
it will require the adequate disposal of the iron precipitate.
0
0
0
In light of the favourable hydrogeologist report and the prospect of obtaining a
potable well source nearby, this alternative cannot be considered viable and will
receive no further consideration in this report.
3-3
3.3 ALTERNATIVE 2 - UPGRADE EXISTING OLALLA CREEK SUPPLY
The upgrading of the existing Olalla Creek Water supply to full municipal and health
standards would involve the following: (See drawing No. 5)
0 Improvements t o dam, spillway and sluice gates t o replace the existing
structure and, at the same time, increase i ts storage capacity so as t o reduce
the turnover time of water flowing through the dam.
!
I
0 Construct a new intake system with duplex screens t o reduce turbidity as
much as possible. The screens chamber should make provision for 2 x 10 hp
pumps and disinfection facilities to feed a closed, concrete, 200000 US
gallons reservoir. The new reservoir to be positioned & 15 m higher than the
dam t o increase pressures to higher users.
0 Construct the new distribution system as shown on drawing No. 5 complete
with new 150 mm pipeline down Main Street, fire hydrants and connections
to existing 75 mm and 50 mm service mains. & 100 new service connections
on Main Street will be required if the old 100 mm r$ main is t o be
decommissioned.
Advantages of this alternative are:
0 it would be a simple gravity system;
0 power costs for the 10 hp pump would be relatively low.
Disadvantages of this alternative are:
0 the quality of the Olalla Creek water does not meet Health standards and even
i f improved now by increased dam capacity, screening and disinfection, it will
always be vulnerable t o pollution upstream and continual silting up with
debris.

0 The dam will require regular maintenance due t o silting and erosion.
0 Disinfection of the water would be required.
0 A t some stage in the future it is likely that the Ministry of Health will require
all surface water used for potable purposes t o be treated by filtration which
will be very costly.
A further alternative would be t o construct a new dam at a higher elevation and of
a size to substantially increase storage behind the dam. This would facilitate a
reduction in turbidity and increase pressure to higher users. However, for the
purpose of this report it is assumed that the existing dam will be rehabilitated.
3.4 ALTERNATIVE 3 - NEW WELL SOURCE
This alternative includes the development of a supply well and pump station in
conjunction with the construction of a new reservoir a t a slightly higher elevation and
related distribution system (See Drawing No. 6). This would constitute a closed
system with waters being pumped through the distribution system t o the reservoir
and fed back from the reservoir when the well pumps are not operating. Control of
the pumps can be effected by use of telemetric cable and level controls. The supply
source would be groundwater, unlikely t o require chlorination and Olalla would have
an acceptable, year round source of drinking water, virtually maintenance free and
requiring very l i t t le monitoring.
Concern with this alternative could be that the development of a well can be costly
and that, depending on the depth and head against which the pump must operate,
annual operating costs could be high. In addition, there may be the concern that the
problems with water quality experienced at the existing well would be repeated.
However, the hydrogeologic investigation indicates conditions are favourable and
there is no indication that hydrogen sulphide and high iron content conditions are
widespread. Also it is estimated that a 60 hp pump would be required and power

consumption will not be excessive. There is therefore no apparent reason why a well
of adequate capacity and quality cannot be developed in the 1 1 th Street / l3 th Street
area as shown on Dwg. No. 6.
The estimated maximum cost for a groundwater exploration program, which includes
the drilling of one unsuccessful 250 mm (10") diameter test well followed by the
construction of a successful 250 mm diameter production well, each t o a depth of
about 40 m (130 ft), including well screen, development, a pumping test and
hydrogeologic consulting, is $60,000. The estimated cost of a minimum program in
which a successful well is drilled and completed at the first site is about $45,000.
Provision has been made for a 250 mm (1 0") diameter well since this will be the size
required t o accommodate a 60 hp pump.

4.0 COST ESTIMATES AND FINANCING
This section outlines cost estimates for budgetary purposes only. It makes no
provision for the acquisition of easements, it being assumed they can be obtained at
no cost, i f necessary. On detail design, i f the proposed reservoir site and/or section
of new pipeline encroaches onto private property, timely negotiations with property
owners will have t o be initiated.

5.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The following conclusions can be derived from this study:
Based on the quantity and quality of water from the existing creek supply and
treatment requirements to meet Health standards (particularly possible future
requirements t o control GIARDIA) and in the light of the hydrogeological study
findings, it is suggested that a groundwater source would be the best
solution.
The existing groundwater well cannot be improved without very costly
treatment and it is therefore recommended that the District accept the new
well alternative (Section 3.4 and Drawing No. 6 ) as the one to be pursued.
The District should therefore proceed with a groundwater exploration program
in the 10th to 13th Street area t o establish a 250 mm (1 0") diameter well.
The preferred scheme on successful completion of a new well would cost
approximately $980,000 and consist of:
construction of a well pump station;
construction of a 200000 US gallon concrete reservoir;
$- 1900 m of 150 mm r$ main complete with fire hydrants running
northkouth down the main road and up t o the new reservoir (See
Drawing No. 6);
Interconnections between the new 150 mm main and the existing 7 5
mm and 50 mm lateral mains. A t the time of construction, it may be
necessary to pressure test the 75/50 mm mains and, i f necessary, do
repairs.
In the unlikely event of a suitable groundwater supply not being found, more
detailed consideration will have t o be given t o upgrading the Olalla creek
supply.

Dear Sirs:
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This letter is further to telephone discussions and correspondence between Mr. C.W. (Charlie) Higgins, P. Eng., of Stanley Associates Engineering Ltd. (SAEL), and Ann Badry, P. Geo., Hydrogeologist and Manager of Pacific Hydrology Consultants Ltd. (PHCL), during the period from March to June 1994, concerning a preliminary evaluation of groundwater supply potential for a combined water system for the Community and Improvement District at Olalla, B.C. Figure 1 in Appendix A is an area and well location map.
The purposes of this letter are to:
present the results of PtiCL’s study and evaluation of hydrogeologic conditions in the Olalla area;
recommend a course of action to explore for and/or develop a suitable groundwater source.
On the basis of the above-referenced discussions and correspondence, we understand that the situation concerning water supply for Olalla is as follows:
1.
2.
The required capacity of a groundwater source is 25.2 Nsec (400 USgpm).
The area of interest in which to locate a groundwater source is within the immediate vicinity of the Community of Olalla, as shown on Figure 1 in Appendix A.
An existing well located at the confluence of Olalla and Keremeos Creeks and within the area of interest is reported to yield groundwater high in iron and H,S.

2.0 GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY
The subject Olalla area is located in the Keremeos Creek Valley. Bedrock along the Keremeos Creek Valley, as extrapolated from maps in British Columbia Department of Mines and Petroleum Resources Bulletin 61 (Geology of the White Lake Basin), consists of mafic and felsic igneous and volcanic rocks of Tertiary age which are transected and displaced by nuinerous faults.
The geology of the unconsolidated deposits filling the Keremeos Creek Valley is quite complex. Glacial ice moved from the north down the Valley toward the end of the last glacial episode and deposited till and other glacial debris. During deglaciation, meltwater from the retreating ice as well as overflow meltwater from high stages of Okanagan Lake, deposited glaciofluvial sediments. Because there were several periods of glaciation i n the Okanagan Valley area, this sequence of events likely occurred more than once. The large raised delta at the mouth of Keremeos Creek was deposited during the last glacial activity.
The Community of Olalla is located on the modern post-glacial alluvial fan of Olalla Creek which enters the Keremeos Valley from the northwest. A minor alluvial fan component may also be present from the creek which originates in the uplands on the east side of the valley. Alluvial fans are composed mainly of unconsolidated sand and gravel with lesser amounts of silty sand and silt, typically in layers of contrasting permeability due to the mode of deposition, in which the creek meandered back and forth and deposited its bedload.

Driller's lithologs for Well No's. 1, 3, 4, 5 , 6, 7 and 11 are in general agreement with the above geologic interpretation. These wells show a variable thickness of fan sediments ranging from approximately 11 in (36 fi) in Well No. 7 to 19.2 m (63 ft) in Well No. 6 (Figure 2, Appendix A, Page A - 2). The driller's lithologs also indicate that tlie underlying glaciofluvial sand and gravel deposits extend to a depth of at least 34 m (1 12 ft) in the area of interest.
There are two scales of groundwater flow in the bedrock and overlying unconsolidated sediments in the Olalla area. The deep regional groundwater flow system is recharged by infiltration of direct precipitation and snowmelt in the uplands along the east and west sides of the Keremeos Creek Valley. Groundwater is conveyed downgradient along fracture systems which discharge into Keremeos Creek or join deeper groundwater flow in motion south through the sediments of Keremeos Creek Valley toward tlie Similkameen River system. The flow system, which is of most interest with respect to developing additional groundwater at the Community of Olalla, is that which is moving through pcnneable zones within the unconsolidated sediments of the alluvial fan or underlying glaciofluvial sand and gravel as shown to be present in Well No's. 6 and 7 (see Figure 2). Recharge to the aquifers within these sediments is from local infiltration from precipitation and, to a lesser degree, from water moving through the fractured systems in the uplands. The shallower, local groundwater flow system(s) migrate downgradient to join Keremeos Creek as baseflow, or, alternatively, to join the deeper flow systems.
3.0 GROUNDWATER SUPPLY POTENTIAL
Possible aquifers within the unconsolidated sediments include:
1. permeable zones in the glaciofluvial sediments;
2. permeable zones in post-glacial alluvial fan sediments.
All of the wells in the area of interest obtain groundwater from permeable zones in the glaciofluvial sediments, with screen settings at depths less than 30 m (100 ft). Estimated wells capacities range from 1.9 Nsec (25 USgpm) in Well No. 8 to 60.5 Nsec (800 USgpm) in Well No. 6. Most of the wells in the area have been constructed for domestic supply and, as such are as 150 mm (6") diameter wells completed with only short screen. The three higher capacity wells, No's. 6, 10 and 11, have respective estimated capacities of 60.5, 37.9 and 37.9 llsec (800, 500 and 500 USgpm); Well No's. 6 and 10 are 200 mm (8") diameter wells and No. 1 1 is a 250 mm (1 0") diameter well, and all are completed with longer screen assemblies, (see Table 1 in Appendix B).

Based on the available water well records and geologic interpretation, the most favourable area for test- production drilling is in that area between Well No. 6 and No. 11 on the other part of the Olalla Creek Fan. The former was drilled to a depth of 30 m (100 ft) and the latter was drilled to 34 in (1 12 ft); consequently, the productive aquifer in coarse gravel at a depth of 24.4 m (80 ft) in Well No. 6, which has a capacity of 50.5 Nsec (800 USgpm), and between 14 and 33 in (46 and 110 ft) i n Well No. 11 which has a capacity of 31.5 llsec (500 USgpm) is a favourable exploration target. A successful test- production well in the area between Well No.'s 6 and 1 1 should be of sufficient distance from high capacity production wells so as to minimize interference.
4.0 GROUNDWATER QUALITY
The water well records do not indicate any water quality problems; however, groundwater from Well No. 11 in D.L. 2750 is reported to have "H,S problems" and an high iron content. The cause of these elevated constituents is uncertain; in that Well No. 11 is completed in a coarse gravel aquifer with a high transmissivity and a large volume of underflow. It is possible that there is hydraulic connection with an aquifer in the alluvial fan sequence that has a relatively high organic content; however, available driller's lithologs for known wells do not indicate such conditions elsewhere in the Olalla area.
A chemical analysis of a water sample collected from Well No. 6 in the south end of the Community indicates that groundwater moving through the sediments filling the Keremeos Creek Valley is hard and moderately mineralized but generally of good quality. The aforementioned chemical analysis is attached in Appendix C, along with a Table that compares the quality to drinking water quality guidelines. Microbiological analysis has shown anomalously high total and fecal coliform bacteria which exceed drinking water guidelines; however, these high values are not considered to be representative of the aquifer water but, rather, may indicate sample contamination or cross-contamination from surface run-off.
Some of the alluvial fan sediments within the Keremeos Valley were derived from the Tertiary volcanics of the Yellow Lake Member which is locally radioactive; consequently, water quality analyses should include uranium and/or other radionuclides.
5.0 COURSE OF ACTION AND ESTIMATED COSTS
On the basis of the preceding discussion, test-production well drilling into the glaciofluvial sediments underlying the Community of Olalla to develop the required groundwater source capacity of 25.2 Nsec (400 USgpm) is warranted. Provided that aquifer conditions are favourable, a 200 mm (8") diameter well will be capable of producing the required capacity. The anticipated depth for a successful well is about 39 m (130 ft) or less.
Pacific Hydrology Consultants Ltd.
Stanley Associates Engineering Ltd. Completion Report Preliminary Evaluation of Groundwater Supply Potential at Olalla, B.C. for Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen August 12. 1994 - Page 5
The estimated cost for 40 m (130 fi) of 200 mm (8") diameter drilling using a cable tool rig, including drilling, well construction and development, and a 24 hour pumping test of a successful well, is provided in Table 3 in Appendix D. These costs do not include hydrogeologic consulting costs for supervision, well screen design, water analyses, evaluation and reporting, which are estimated to be in the range of $5,000. to $7,500. The total cost of a successful well is about $33,000 (excluding hydrogeological consulting), with the cost of an unsuccessful well about $20,000., including hydrogeological consulting.

6.0 CONCLUSIONS
From our office study, we conclude the following with respect to groundwater supply potential, exploration and development at the Community of Olalla:
i
1 .
2.
3.
4.
5.
Hydrogeologic conditions i n the study area are favourable for developing the desired source capacity of 25.2 Nsec (400 USgpm) and test-production drilling to "prove up" the source can be justified.
The most favourable target is an aquifer in thick permeable sand and gravel within the glaciofluvial sediments of unknown thickness that fill the Keremeos Creek Valley at that location.
Under favourable aquifer conditions, a 200 mm (8") diameter drilled well will be capable of supplying the required 25.2 Nsec (400 USgpm). Ideally drilling should be carried out with a cable- tool rig in order to facilitate optimum screen size selection and location.
Well No. 11 in the study area is reported to have "H,S problems" and an high iron content, both of which are readily treated; however, there is no indication that such conditions are widespread.
The estimated maximum cost for a groundwater exploration program, which includes the drilling of one knsuccessful 200 mm (8") diameter test well followed by construction of a successful 200 mm diameter production well, each to a depth about 40 in (130 ft), including well screen, development, a pumping test and hydrogeological consulting, is $50,000. to $55,000. The estimated cost of a minimum program i n which a successful well is drilled and completed at the first site is about $3 8,000. to $40,000., including hydrogeological consulting.
