Regional Water Supply Master Plan

The Capital Regional District (CRD) Regional Water Supply Master Plan was released in 2022 and includes a proposed infrastructure program to:

  • Improve the water supply and transition system
  • Add redundancy to critical components, and
  • Address hazards and risks.

Modeling indicates that by 2045 additional water will need to be sourced from the deep northern basin of Sooke Lake Reservoir and the Leech River water supply catchment area. 

The plan recommends 21 major projects to be implemented over the next 30 years to meet anticipated water supply and treatment needs based on the projected population for the year 2050. The recommendations also consider climate change impacts on water supply and demand, anticipated changes in raw water characteristics and regulatory requirements.
