Bay Avenue Sewer Pump Station Project Regional District of Nanaimo

August 10, 2021

In July 2021, the Regional District of Nanaimo began construction on the Bay Avenue sewer pump station located adjacent to 385 Bay Avenue in Parksville. This pump station conveys about 85% of the City’s wastewater to the French Creek Pollution Control Centre. The pump station was originally constructed in 1978 and upgraded in 1997 and 2003. It must be upgraded again to increase pumping capacity and meet the current standards for flood construction levels to protect critical electrical and control system components at the pump station and mitigate a potential environmental release. During construction, beach access is restricted in this area. Information about the project is available on the RDN’s Get Involved site.
