The Saratoga Water System is located in Scotch Creek on the north shore of Shuswap Lake in Electoral Area F (North Shuswap).

The water system draws water from Shuswap Lake and treats it using ultraviolet disinfection and chlorination.  The system also has SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) which provides full remote monitoring capabilities.
