There are three areas of work that need to be completed before the Cove Bay Water Treatment Plant can be put into service.
Contractors are making progress on retrofit mechanical work including the installation of a break head tank, pumps and piping and are expected to finish by the end of October.
BIM is expecting delivery of electrical components by the end of November, and the electrical installation is expected to be completed in December.
Once the mechanical and electrical work is complete, Purifics will perform on-site repairs to the broken filter, and then re-commission the system bringing it online in early 2023.
Vancouver Coastal Health will be on site for a final inspection of the plant and to review the results of water testing before drinking water is distributed to homes and businesses in Cove Bay Water System.
