Clover Point Wastewater Discharge Notice
Victoria, BC - Signs have been posted as a precautionary measure due to a wastewater discharge at Clover Point on the afternoon of Saturday, August 29, 2015
Approximately 900 m3 of unscreened wastewater was discharged through the Clover Point pumpstation short outfall as a result of a mechanical equipment failure. The failure has since been corrected and the pump station is operating as it should.
In consultation with Island Health, water sampling at locations along the beaches near Clover Point will take place this weekend and public health advisory signs have been posted at all beach access points in the Ross Bay and Clover Point areas. Lab results from the weekend samples should be available early next week and if enterococci levels are below the 70CFU/100mL recreational limit the signage will be removed.
