Liquid Waste Management Plan (Rainwater)
The District of Sooke has recently completed construction of sewage collection and treatment facilities under a provincially mandated Liquid Waste Management Plan (LWMP). This three-stage process in now entering its final stage.
The LWMP process also requires the development of planning strategies for the long-term management of rainwater. Enhanced rainwater management will have direct effects on the environment (watercourses and watersheds), public health and well-being and the ways in which municipal infrastructure and private land is developed. The LWMP (Rainwater) Stage 1 provided an investigation of rainwater management options and has been approved by the provincial Ministry of Environment.
The District of Sooke is now proceeding with Stage 2 & 3 activities that will result in the development of the final plan for the management of rainwater. Council has formed a LWMP Advisory Committee - Rainwater. This committee will be instrumental in providing input to the District of Sooke and its consultants during the final plan development.
