Investing in water infrastructure improvements on Vancouver Island

August 15, 2025 at 9:44 am  Federal, Politics

Sayward, British Columbia, August 15, 2025 — Two communities on Vancouver Island are receiving upgrades to their water infrastructure after a combined investment of more than $5.25 million from the federal and provincial governments and municipal partners.

In the Municipality of North Cowichan, the Crofton Sewage Treatment Plant will be upgraded with two new clarifiers and a sludge thickening system to improve wastewater treatment and ensure the treated water remains clean and compliant with environmental standards. These upgrades will expand the plant’s capacity to treat more wastewater, maintain the treatment plant’s high level of compliance, and protect the health and safety of the community.

The Village of Sayward will benefit from drainage and stormwater upgrades aimed at reducing flooding and minimizing flood risks for homes. The project involves upgrading stormwater pipes, adding biofilters to reduce pollution runoff, and other related improvements to support sustainable stormwater management. Together, these efforts will strengthen the community’s resilience to extreme weather events, enhance water quality, and help create a safer and healthier environment for residents and local wildlife.
