The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) is inviting the community to learn more about the final stage of the Comox Valley Sewer System Liquid Waste Management Planning process at an upcoming public open house.
The CVRD has completed its draft Liquid Waste Management Plan Stage 3 report which details how wastewater will be conveyed and treated across the communities of Courtenay, Comox and the K’ómoks First Nation. The plan will help to ensure the long-term safety, reliability and efficiency of the regional wastewater system.
Following selection of preferred level of wastewater treatment and conveyance approaches in Stages 1 and 2, Stage 3 provides a roadmap for upgrades required at the wastewater treatment facility. This last stage includes updated cost estimates and expected timelines for the work ahead. Current projections estimate for the treatment plan upgrades are at $113.4 million, with an anticipated impact of $220-240 per household annually beginning in 2030.
“We’re sharing updated details on everything from projected costs, timelines and finalized upgrades planned for the treatment facility,” says CVRD General Manager of Engineering Services Kris La Rose. “Our community played a big role in the development of this plan, and in return, we’re excited to showcase how their involvement helped guide the planning process.”
