A webinar will take place over the lunch hour Monday on the Comox Valley Regional Districts planned sewer systems upgrades.

The work, along some of the area's busiest roads, is expected to begin in the Spring.

The Comox Valley Sewer Conveyance Project will route sewer pipes further inland where they will no longer be vulnerable to damage by waves, rocks and logs.

The District says the project is key to protecting the coastline, resolving environmental risk and preparing for future growth.

Construction will affect all area residents and businesses along Comox Road and through downtown Comox.

The Comox Valley Regional District says the project requires careful consideration, and clear communication, around construction, traffic, environmental and archeological impacts.

Today's webinar runs from noon to 1pm - you can find more info at Comox Valley Regional District, or on their socials.

An in-person session will be held this Thursday (Nov. 17) from 430-630pm at the CVRD Civic Room in Courtenay.
