The Mallard Place, Remora Place Sewer Expansion Project is currently under consideration by the neighbourhood property owners. The Regional District of Nanaimo received inquiries about extending sanitary sewer servicing to the Mallard Place neighbourhood of Nanoose Bay. An expansion of the Fairwinds Sanitary Sewer Service Area would be required, along with construction of new sewermains and manholes. The cost of expanding the sewer service and installing the sewer works would be entirely paid for by the property owners who benefit from the service. If the project does not receive enough support, it will not be advanced. Please see www.mallardsewer.ca for more information. | Mallard, Remora Sewer Service Project Area Map |
