Village Monitoring Critical Services During Wet Weather
Posted on
Vancouver Island has received significant rainfall in recent days, and continued wet weather may be concerning for Village residents.
Village staff have been monitoring conditions and preparing for potential rainfall-related impacts. The Village’s current focus areas are stormwater infrastructure, water and wastewater systems, and continuity of other critical services. Staff are following established procedures, inspecting relevant infrastructure, monitoring known areas of concern, and taking preventive measures where appropriate. To help prepare and for extra capacity as needed, the Village has opened a Level 1 Emergency Operations Centre with support from Comox Valley Emergency Management.
Additional rainfall is expected into the weekend and conditions can change quickly. If any conditions develop, the Village will provide updates through official Village channels.
Please use caution near drainage infrastructure and flooded areas and do not enter flooded areas or attempt to clear drains in unsafe conditions. If it is safe to do so, you can help maintain drainage near your property by clearing leaves and debris from nearby storm drains.
Call 911 where there is an immediate threat to life or safety.
You can report non-emergency drainage concerns to the Village Office at 250-336-2291 and follow prompts.
