Uplands Combined Sewer Separation Project - Detailed Design

completed

The District of Oak Bay (District) sewer system is located within the ’core area’ of the Capital Regional District (CRD) wastewater system. The District has completed an extensive pre-design study including public consultation, and council has endorsed its preferred option (servicing solution) for combined sewer separation. The objective of the project is to complete detailed design for the Humber catchment. Six options were developed, broken down into the two CRD pumping station catchments, the Humber catchment and the Rutland catchment. The two catchments comprise a combined total of 391 existing homes. Option 4 was the chose option and consists of a new shallow stormwater system with localized areas requiring municipality owned stormwater pumping stations for roadway runoff and existing pipe as a sanitary sewer conveyance.
