Riverbottom Road Water Supply
Cowichan Tribes secured funding from the Federal Government to develop a new stand-alone potable water system for the Tzart-Lam area. The project is currently in design. When complete the project will provide a reliable source of safe and clean drinking water and fire protection.
Boys Road Septic Sewer
The Boys Road Sewer Upgrade Project is estimated to exceed $15 million. Due to the estimated cost and scope of the work, Indigenous Services Canada divided the project into two phases. Construction of phase one is complete. Phase two design is complete and waiting funding approval from Indigenous Services Canada.
Low Pressure Sewer Systems
Cowichan Tribes is developing a design to connect the homes located between Boys Road and Sahilton Road to a local municipal sewer using a Low Pressure Sewer system. Other areas also being considered for a low pressure sewer system include homes in Glenora, Miller Road, Koksilah Road and homes along the Trans Canada Highway.
The new sewer lines will connect Cowichan Tribes homes to the closest neighboring municipality: Duncan, North Cowichan or the Cowichan Valley Regional District. All funds for these projects are being secured from Indigenous Services Canada.
