A new irrigation system is set to be installed at Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery.

The three-phase project will begin this fall, with the first phase getting underway on Oct. 4.

Work will be ongoing until the end of November.

During construction, the entire west side of the cemetery will remain accessible by vehicle to the midpoint of the Pioneer Section.

Foot traffic, however, will remain accessible on all roads.

“Access to individual plots and booking interments for cremated remains in the eastern most section of the cemetery will be impacted during construction,” explained the City of Kelowna. 

“Casket interments will not be impacted. Equipment and noise will halt if an interment takes place in proximity to the construction area.” 

Phases two and three of this project will continue over the next two years, with dates yet to be determined.
