Drilling To Begin Monday In Preparation For Comox Sewer Conveyance Project

Drilling begins Monday to prepare for the Sewer Conveyance Project in Comox.

The drilling, which is expected to last three weeks, will happen along select sections of Comox Road, as well as partial sections of roadways in Comox that have been identified for the sewer upgrade route.

The project will route sewer pipes further inland where they will no longer be vulnerable to damage by waves, rocks, and logs.

The Comox Valley Regional District says the project is key to protecting the coastline, resolving environmental risk and preparing for future growth.

Construction will affect all area residents and businesses along Comox Road and through downtown Comox.

On Tuesday, the district is hosting an open house to go over a lot of the work that will happen alongside the sewer project.

The session runs from 4pm to 7pm, at the d’Esterre Seniors’ Centre on Beaufort Avenue.
