The Sewer Division is responsible for operating and maintaining approximately 50 km of sanitary sewer main lines and 13 sewer pump stations.
Background Information
Routine maintenance activities involve the cleaning of main lines with high-pressure flush trucks and video inspecting for problems or deficiencies. In addition, there is the installation and repairing of 550 manholes, 2,500 Sewer connections and other related appurtenances.
The Town operates the sewage collection system and we pump the effluent to the Unified Treatment plant operated by the Capital Regional District (CRD). The Town works closely with the CRD to protect and enhance the environment and preserve habitat areas.
The goal of the Department is to ensure that the sewer system is maintained in a proper operating condition and is providing the public with an appropriate level of service.
