City of Courtenay Annual Report 2022

MANAGING OUR ASSETS

In 2022, Public Works Services made steady progress with proactive maintenance, such as flushing water mains and roadway paving, while keeping up with reactive maintainance – responding to to issues, like potholes and watermain leaks, as they are discovered or reported.

Courtenay's vast network of above and below-ground infrastructure requires ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and renewal. This includes essential services such as water, wastewater, storm, and transportation networks, as well as parks, recreation, and equipment. The estimated replacement value of these assets is over $1 billion.
