The funding is coming from a federal grant and provincial and municipal programs to replace the current pump station in Courtenay
More than $13.3 million in sewer-system upgrades slated to serve the Comox Valley and surrounding areas will reduce the risks of rising sea levels and climate change, government officials say.
The pipe will be rerouted farther inland to help it withstand damage from such things as shoreline erosion, rocks, logs, storms and earthquakes. Having a pump station that can withstand seismic activity and rising sea levels will enhance the well-being of area residents, he said.
