Sunshine Coast given provincial approval for new water-saving measure

According to the B.C. Forests Ministry, a water licence has been approved for the Church Road Well. The well was built near Gibsons last year to help support communities that rely on Chapman Lake for water. It will provide an additional three million litres of water per day to the Chapman water system. "Ideally, we would be pumping once the water quit going over the dam, because then we could save more water behind the dam,” said Leonard Lee, chair of the Sunshine Coast Regional District Board.
