ENGLISHMAN RIVER WATER SERVICE

This website will provide the residents with general knowledge and background on
the Arrowsmith Water Service (AWS) and the Englishman River Water Service
(ERWS).

Planning for water supply in this region dates back many years. We secured
storage by building the Arrowsmith Dam in 1999 and the next phase for the
Englishman River Water Service includes a new river water supply intake, new
water treatment plant and distribution system. These new initiatives will
mitigate our current risks and ensure a safe, secure drinking water source for
the future while at the same time, sustaining a healthy river system.





What is the Englishman River Water Service?
The ERWS is a joint venture between the City of Parksville and the Regional
District of Nanaimo, formed to secure a bulk water supply from the Englishman
River. This regional partnership supplements existing well supply sources owned
and operated by the City of Parksville and Nanoose Bay Peninsula Water Service
Area. Please see the section on governance for an understanding of the joint
venture agreements for the AWS and ERWS.
What is the ERWS project?
The City of Parksville and the Regional District of Nanaimo (Nanoose Bay
Peninsula) recently completed an expansion to the drinking water supply which
will ensure a safe and secure water system for the community.
 * In-river water supply intake designed/located to consider the needs of river
   users and to protect aquatic habitat.
 * Water treatment plant with a minimum of 16 million litres per day of membrane
   filtration capacity to comply with new water regulatory treatment standards.
 * Transmission supply mains to homes and businesses.

Why was this project necessary?
To ensure a safe and secure water system is available for now and the future.
Island Health has mandated the improvement of water quality standards for
surface water (river water) with a deadline for compliance of December 31, 2016.
