To the Editor:
Many years ago there was an old fashioned irrigation system in the Keremeos area and elsewhere.
Water was brought by flume and large pipes from the Ashnola River for the old irrigation system. The very best fruit and vegetables were grown with the help of this water, with no chlorine in it.
Around about 1970 a new water system was brought in. Chester Haker was in charge of irrigation and water at that time. This was a system with deep wells supplying water for both domestic and irrigation use. This new system has worked well for many years. No chlorine is required with this system.
Some other old timers may remember this bit of history.
