Utilities and Services
Water
The Big White Water Utility is the local water supply company, proudly delivering some of the best quality water in the world to Big White residents and businesses. Water from snow melt is collected at two alpine lakes Rhonda (at the bottom of the Cliff ski run) and Paul (adjacent to the Powder Chair lift). From there it goes through a water treatment plant before being distributed to consumers.
Gas
The Big White Water Utility also operates an underground propane distribution network to area residential and commercial buildings. You will be billed for propane gas use on one monthly invoice along with other utilities. Your propane consumption will depend on what mechanical components of your home are being powered by propane and how often they are in use.
Electricity
FortisBC is the electricity provider throughout Big White. Your electric city bill will depend on the type of heating in your home, the temperature at which it is set and how often you used electrical appliances. Two ajor sources of electricity consumption are electric heating such as furnaces, fireplaces, and space heaters, and heating hot tubs.
Sewer
The Big White Water Utility also operates the sewer service to all properties at Big White. Sewer service functions the same as other residential communities. Owners are billed for their sewer use based on the size of their residence along with the other services.
A note on beverage containers with refundable deposits which include alcohol, beer, wine, and liquor bottles, and ready-to-drink juice, water, energy drink, and soft drink containers - these can be returned to one of the recycling depots in Kelowna or you can drop them off in the appropriate bin at the Big White Waste Transfer station in which case your deposit will be collected by the regional district and used to maintain the cleanliness of the transfer station area.
Garbarge & Recycling
The Regional District of Kootenay Boundary is responsible for garbage and recycling pick up for residents and businesses at Big White. In order to facilitate this they have established a Waste Transfer Station at 4500 Big White Road near the entrance to the Big White Ski Resort. Household garbage and recycling can be dropped off here; however, building complexes and businesses do get regular garbage and recycling pick up during the winter season with garbage pick up on Mondays and Fridays and recycling pick up on Wednesdays. Please note large and bulky items such as furniture must be taken directly to the Glenmore Landfill in Kelowna and specialty items such as glass and styrofoam can not be recycled unless you do the same. Furthermore, some items such as scrap metal and electronics are not accepted at both the Big White Waste Transfer Station and the Glenmore Landfill but there are locations to take them in Kelowna. If you have any questions about what can be recycled or where to dispose of certain items, please call the BC Recycle Hotline at 1-800-667-1234.
