City of Courtenay announces completion of 1st Street Lift Station

The City of Courtenay is celebrating the completion of an infrastructure project which provides sewer service to the Puntledge neighbourhood. 

The 1st Street Lift Station upgrades were completed early in 2025 after originally starting work during the spring last year. 

Courtenay Mayor Bob Wells said the upgrade is safe and robust enough to support Courtenay residents today and into the future. 

“Replacing this lift station has improved sewer service for this growing neighbourhood and has eliminated the need for additional maintenance required to operate aging infrastructure.” 

The $4 million project was funded through long-term borrowing and reserves and features a seven metre wet well with automated controls, 450-metre gravity sanitary sewer on 1st Street, and a 250-metre force main between 1st Street and Pidcock Avenue. 

Construction was done over the spring and summer last year to protect fish habitat in the Puntledge River and Morrison Creek.
