Bx Creek Intake (mid)
The B. X. Creek mid-intake site sits on B. X. Creek near Vernon, British Columbia, where the City of Vernon historically drew water from the creek for community use.
The intake is located roughly 2 km upstream of the BX Ranch site, with a contributing watershed of approximately 5,260 hectares (52. 6 km²) draining south from Silver Star Provincial Park toward Swan Lake.
An intake dam associated with this reach was decommissioned in the 1990s after water quality issues were detected, and was subsequently repurposed as a sediment control facility by the Regional District of North Okanagan.
Flood events between 2010 and 2020 damaged that facility significantly, prompting a formal dam removal and creek rehabilitation project completed around 2021, with the goal of returning the channel to a more natural condition.
A Water Survey of Canada gauge (08NM020, B. X. Creek above Vernon Intake) was historically operated near this location to monitor streamflow, though it has been inactive since 1998.
