Comox Valley Local Governments Showcase “A Regional Response to Infrastructure Liability”
Just go to the WaterBucket website to preview the Seminar #3 program
The initial capital cost of infrastructure is about 20% of the life-cycle cost; the other 80% largely represents a future unfunded liability. Through a program of professional development, the regional district and three municipalities are aligning efforts and striving for a consistent Comox Valley regional approach to Sustainable Service Delivery.
The theme for the third in the 2011 Comox Valley Seminar Series is risk management. The spotlight is on flooding and floodplain issues. A unifying theme is alignment of efforts at a watershed scale. To preview what participants will learn about on June 30, click on the links below:
