Preferred options for treatment and resources recovery selected

9 December 2020

The Sewage Commission has approved the preferred options for treatment and resource recovery for the Comox Valley Sewer Service’s Liquid Waste Management Plan. Directors have approved Option 2 for treatment, which would see the addition of Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection and secondary treatment for all flows. This was the recommended option by the PAC/TAC based on their technical review and consideration of public feedback. Click here to read the staff report. The sewage commission has also agreed that reclaimed water use should be considered as part of the master planning process for the sewage treatment plant.

  • The preferred option for conveyance (pipes and pump stations) will be selected in coming months.
  • The CVRD will report back to the public on the full suite of LWMP decisions once completed.
