The Langdale Well Field Project is an SCRD water supply project that will support residents and commercial water users on the Langdale Water System, and potentially the Chapman Water System.

Why Langdale?

The SCRD operates a groundwater well in Electoral Area F (West Howe Sound), near the Langdale Ferry Terminal which services the Langdale area. In 2017, groundwater studies identified the potential to draw more groundwater from this aquifer source sustainably.

The Langdale Water System has the potential to be connected to the Chapman Water System. This will help increase water supply for residents on the Chapman Water System and provide redundancy to Langdale water customers.

What's Next?

In 2022, the SCRD drilled two new production-sized wells to confirm that this site is suitable for expansion and that the source meets water quality requirements. The results from the wells has been favourable. Next steps will include a report for the SCRD Board, along with a design of the required pump house building at the site. Staff will then prepare water licence applications for the Provincial Government.

Construction of a water treatment plant, pumping station, and several kilometers of water mains would not start until 2024.

As the Langdale Well Field project continues to move forward, the SCRD will continue to update the Let’s Talk page and send out newsletters with information on the well field development.
