About Us

The HID office is located at 825 Scott Avenue right beside the fire hall. The office is open Monday-Friday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Fire protection and street lighting costs are paid through our property taxes. Whereas the operation of the water system is financed by the yearly user tolls invoiced directly to the residence of Hedley from the HID office. The water tolls are calculated based on the class and category of your property. All water tolls are due by the 1st of April each year. The HID office can accept cheques, cash, or e-transfer for these payments. As well, a parcel tax can be collected each year for the purpose of either paying off debt or increasing the Capital Revenue fund which can only be spent on capital projects such as water line replacements etc. 

Here in Hedley we do not have a sewer system, so all properties have septic tanks. If you need your system inspected, please reach out to the South Okanagan Health Unit to help you out, they can be reached at (250) 495-6433. Or if you are doing any renovations and are in need of an inspection for wiring then reach out to the Regional District Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) Electrical Building Inspector at (250) 490-4205. 

If you require your water to be turned off for a period (vacation, renovations etc) the HID can come and turn your water off for the time required. We would appreciate if you would come in, in advance to fill out a request form and pay a $25 fee for this service. *Please note that most landowners can shut off their own water for small repairs. However, if the water needs to be turned off due to repairs as a whole there will not be a charge to the residence affected. 

The Hedley VOLUNTEER Fire Department is always looking for and Welcome NEW members. Please come out Tuesday night between 6:30 pm to 8:30/9:00 pm. Everyone receives recognition for his/her participation, proper training, gear, skills, and some renumeration. For more information talk to a firefighter, contact the HID office – phone – 250-292-8637 or email – hid825@telus.net or simply show up on Tuesday.
