Water Meter Installation Project
Phase Three is the final phase of meter installations and involves installing water meters in the West Sechelt, West Porpoise Bay, The Shores, Downtown Sechelt, East Porpoise Bay, Sandy Hook, Tuwanek, Selma Park, Davis Bay, and Wilson Creek areas.
Water Meter Installations Update:
We are aware of recent social media discussions expressing concern over the fittings used in the water meter installation project within the District of Sechelt. To clarify, our contractor has advised they are only using brass compression fittings for this project and not the fittings commonly referred to as ‘sharkbite’ fittings.
The Water Meters Contract was awarded to Neptune Technology Group in early 2023. Installation work is underway and the Phase Three water meter installations are anticipated to be completed by 2025. The contractor will communicate directly with each water customer affected by this project in order to provide further details regarding water meter installation instructions and timeline.
For water meter related emergencies or more information, call Neptune Technology at 1-800-667-4387.
For all other water emergencies, call the Sunshine Coast Regional District at 604-885-6806.
The SCRD has received a $6 million in funding for the final phase of the regional water meter installation program through the Canada Community-Building Fund. Read more here.
