A water master plan that includes nearly $2 billion in potential water infrastructure projects over the next 30 years has been approved by the Capital Regional District’s Water Supply Commission.
The commission voted to support the document to guide future water-supply planning, and recommended the CRD board approve it as well.
The master plan includes an infrastructure program to improve the water supply and transmission system and add redundancy to critical components to address hazards and risks.
While most of the commissioners were on board with moving the plan forward following a public engagement process that wrapped up earlier this year, Victoria Coun. Ben Isitt said he was uncomfortable with advancing the plan, given the Malahat First Nation had requested more time to consider it and provide feedback.
