Comox Valley Regional District Moving Forward With Sewer Conveyance Project

The Comox Valley Regional District is moving on with work on the Sewer Conveyance Project, having selected contractors for the job.

The District says the contractors’ proposals came in below the budgeted amount, allowing the CVRD to adjust the project's projected total cost to $96 million.

This figure is $5 million lower than the approved project budget.

The Sewer Conveyance Project involves the construction of a new Courtenay Pump Station, retrofits to the K’ómoks First Nation and Town of Comox Pump Stations, and the installation of more than 9 kilometers of new sewer force main inland and away from the foreshore where it will no longer pose a threat to the environment.

Construction is scheduled to begin in March and last approximately 30 months. In advance of construction and to prepare residents, businesses, and commuters for what is to come, the CVRD will host a series of public open houses and online webinars to present the full traffic management plan and construction schedule.

Full details will be announced in early 2024.
