Nanoose Sewer Upgrades - Phase 1

The Nanoose sewer system delivers residential wastewater from the Fairwinds Development to the Nanoose Bay Pollution Control Centre. The forcemain and pump stations, constructed by the subdivision developer in the late 1980s, have a history of failures and require replacement. This will be done with a phased approach.
