Top 3 benefits to Colwood sewage treatment plans

1. Environmental Excellence

A Colwood facility would provide a higher level of sewage treatment. It would also draw heat energy from sewage pipes that could be distributed to businesses in the heart of Colwood, including large facilities like West Shore Parks and Recreation and the Royal Roads University. (Check out "How district energy works" from Fortis BC.)

2. Financial Responsibility

With just over 25% of Colwood homes connected to sewers, the $782.7 million CRD sewage treatment plan saw most Colwood residents paying for a service they may never use. A local system that could start small and grow with our community in a modular way, as well as being able to reclaim heat and water, just makes sense. This would reduce the tax burden on our community as well as our impact on the natural environment. 

3. Community Minded

Colwood citizens and partners will have greater opportunity for input into a local plan that fits with our vision for the community. Residents are encouraged to join the conversation about what benefits they would like a facility to provide and what the conditions for acceptance would be.
