Wastewater Facilities

New - Community Information Spaces for Wastewater Service Participants

The SCRD has launched community information spaces for participants in wastewater services in the Region. On the community information spaces, wastewater service users can learn more about operations of the facilities and ask questions directly to SCRD staff members. These spaces will be updated as and when new information such as financial reports are available for each facility.

Each facility has its own page which can be reached via this link - letstalk.scrd.ca/wastewater
