Quotes

"Sometimes asset management is grand, such as our Midtown Water Supply project; it replaces our old water main with a new, resilient one while improving our roads, walking paths, water distribution, and sanitary and storm sewers. Other times, it’s just a good old-fashioned paving project like this. Nonetheless, there will be road closures and we apologize for the inconvenience; we know how important it is to maintain Bowen Road and to keep it operational. Thank you for your patience, Nanaimo!"
