1st Street Lift Station Upgrades

Hazelwood Construction Services Inc., working on behalf of the City of Courtenay, has replaced the existing lift station located inside a concrete block building at 1201 – 1st Street, adjacent to the entrance to Puntledge Park, and upgraded the area’s sanitary sewer system. These upgrades were essential to improve the overall service of the local sewer system, mitigate operational risk, and reduce ongoing maintenance costs.

• Installation of a new lift station, including a 7.0m deep wet well, pumps, an above-ground valve chamber, a power and controls kiosk, and site fencing to enclose the new lift station.
• Installation of approximately 450m length of gravity sanitary sewer main on 1st Street.
• Installation of approximately 250m length of sanitary sewer force main between 1st Street and Pidcock Avenue through an existing City-owned right of way.
