Water

Water, Savary Shores has the Island's only Community Water System .

Otherwise it's wells ( mostly drilled ) , sandpoints are viable at Indian Point and Along Malasapina Promenade.

There are some high areas where a 'perched aquifer' makes dug wells feasible.

Propane is the 'workhorse' of Savary. Cooking, Hot Water and Refrigeration.

Regular delivery ( year round by Brackenwood Propane ).

Electricity; Generators, Solar Panels ( batteries & inverters )

--

Gasoline- There is a 'gas depot' at the corner of Patricia Crescent ( BY THE ONE MILE MARKER ) & Vancouver Boulevard.

---

Gas cans with owners names ( and addresses , high incidence of duplicate names here) on them

are left there empty and filled by Lund Water taxi.
