Courtenay Annual Report 2025 draft

Infrastructure maintenance 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. In 2025, Operational Services advanced its proactive maintenance program, including routine water main flushing, hydrant servicing, ditching, vegetation management and scheduled roadway paving. Crews also responded quickly to reactive needs throughout the year, repairing potholes, resolving water main breaks and addressing other emergent issues reported by residents or identified through ongoing inspections.
