With the advisory lifted, all marine recreational activities may now safely resume in the previously affected foreshore area. 👇

🗞️CVRD News: The Comox Valley Regional District has lifted the remaining water quality advisory for the Comox Harbour foreshore following the May 26 sewer leak from the Comox Pump Station.

Recent water samples collected within the foreshore area on August 24 tested for Enterococcus bacteria at levels ranging from less than 1.0 to 9.0 CFU/100 mL — well below Island Health’s guidance for swimming and other marine recreational activities. Island Health advises that water is suitable for these activities when the average Enterococcus result is below 35 CFU/100 mL, and no individual test result exceeds 70 CFU/100 mL. Sediment sampling and testing throughout June and July showed that the sediment poses no residual risk to recreational activities.

With the advisory lifted, all marine recreational activities may now safely resume in the previously affected foreshore area.

Information about the May 26 incident, including previously published testing results, is available at: comoxvalleyrd.ca/sewageleak

Today, we raised the flag outside Comox Town Hall with members of Town Council, Chief Rempel of the K'ómoks First Nation and other community supporters. The act of raising the flag sends a strong message in support of the LGBTQIA2S+ community and is a reminder that there is no place for discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression.

Enjoy a wonderful Comox Valley Pride celebration!
