No Current Maintenance Advisories

Annual Watermain Flushing
Every year, the Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) water team completes regular watermain flushing in each distribution system managed by the CVRD. While work is being carried out, the water may become temporarily discoloured and residents may experience a loss in pressure.
Helpful Information
- Flushing of the water mains is routine maintenance and greatly improves the water quality in the distribution system by removing sediment and any build up that may occur.
- Where practical, residents should avoid washing laundry during this time and ensure that any electric hot water tanks are switched off.
- We ask that motorists please exercise caution when driving past our crews.
- If you have any questions or concerns, please call the Engineering Services Branch at 250-334-6056 or email engineeringservices@comoxvalleyrd.ca.
