Local News Update

The Comox Valley Regional District is making sure residents are well-informed about where their water comes from. Watershed Awareness Week runs from May 26. to 30. The initiative, now in its third year, aims to educate the public about the importance of protecting the water supply. The Comox Lake watershed provides clean drinking water for more than 50,000 residents in the region.

“The watershed is the source of our water supply. So ultimately, the better you can protect it and the better you can maintain its good functioning condition, the better your water quality is gonna get when it comes into your treatment facility,” said Mike Herschmiller, manager of water services in the CVRD.
