The Sunshine Coast Regional District is making progress on major water infrastructure projects that will contribute to firefighting, conservation and treatment.
The SCRD said upgrades at the Chapman Creek water treatment plant are scheduled to be completed early this year.
The district said its new leak resolution program is now fully operational and has saved about 335,680 litres of water per day by detecting 743 leaks.
Implementation of volumetric billing has begun and will be fully rolled out to all water service areas by 2027.

The SCRD released an update on its 2024-27 board strategic plan, which was presented to the board late last month.
“Across all departments, staff are working hard to deliver on the board’s strategic direction,” said Tina Perreault, SCRD chief administrative officer. “The report card clearly demonstrates how much has been accomplished and how closely aligned our daily operations are with the long-term priorities of the region.”
The update said most high-priority initiatives from the plan are on track for completion before the end of the current board term in October.
