Maple Creek Drainage Pump Station - Intake # 2

in progress

The Maple Creek Integrated Watershed Management Plan recommended upgrading of the Pump station to address capacity, condition, access and fish passage issues. Maple Creek discharges to the Coquitlam River through the Maple Creek Drainage Pump Station and flood box. The pump station was constructed in 1990 and is currently in poor condition with electrical code and access issues.The existing pumps are inadequate to convey the creek flow and 200-year storm flows from Maple Creek to the Coquitlam River, and do not provide flood protection for climate change impacts such as increased rain fall and sea level rise. Additionally, the current configuration does not permit fish passage when the pumps are operating.
