New Water Storage Reservoirs (University)

Two new water storage reservoirs will be constructed at Quest University Canada.

These new reservoirs will enhance fire protection and add water storage into the system to improve efficiency at the Powerhouse Springs wellfield. All water flowing to areas north of the Mamquam River will pass through these reservoirs

The reservoirs will be approximately 10 metres tall and 16 metres in diameter and will be located behind the existing Lower University Reservoir as shown in the map below. The tops of the new reservoirs will be painted forest green and will be visible from Quest University Canada.

Impact

• Expect temporary noise and traffic impacts during construction.
• Some residents in 40115 and 40101 The Crescent may see construction activities taking place, however impacts on views are expected to be minimal due to topography in the area and surrounding trees/vegetation.

Timeframe

Construction is expected to begin in early September 2023 and continue until Spring 2024, weather permitting. The District is currently procuring a contractor and scheduling information will be updated once available.
