Comox Road Sewer Project

The City is delivering a sewer project to protect the Courtenay River and estuary by decommissioning an aging sewer pipe that crosses the Courtenay River. To do so, sewage from properties in the Lewis and Simms Parks areas will be rerouted to a new pipe along Comox Road to the Courtenay Pump Station.

Project Updates:

• Spring 2025 - Work resumes in Lewis and Simms Parks, affecting minor parking areas within Simms Park. Please stay clear of work zones.  
• April 28 - May 1 - Additional lane shifts between the Lewis Centre building and skatepark, as well as near the intersection of Comox Road and 5th Street.
