The Razor Point Improvement District (“RPID”) is owned by the District property owners and received its Letters Patent on April 29, 1992 (amended December 12, 1996).  It consists of 31 lots, of which 27 are now metered consumers.  The District is an Improvement District under British Columbia law, and as such, is a taxing and regulatory body.  The Letters Patent establishes the name and boundaries for the improvement district and outline the procedures for electing Trustees, and By-law No.10 specifies the water distribution regulations.

Three volunteer Trustees manage the RPID, each serving a three-year rotating term.  One is elected each year at the Annual General Meeting from current property owners in the District.  The AGM is normally held during late May or early June and property owners are notified at least two weeks in advance of the meeting’s date, time and location.  We employ a certified Small Water Systems Operator for daily supply maintenance and have a volunteer Administrator/ Treasurer/Assessor who manages the record-keeping and financial responsibilities and prepares the assessment information annually.  By-law No. 14 outlines the duties and responsibilities of the administrator, treasurer and assessor.

The Razor Point Improvement District Letters Patent are available for review on request.
