Sewers & Septic
CRD Sewers
Magic Lake Estates Sewer on Pender Island is the only CRD sewer in the Southern Gulf Islands EA.
Magic Lake Estates Sewer
This service provides sewage collection and disposal facilities for the Magic Lake Estates rural development on North Pender Island. About 718 lots participate in the service.
The system has two sewage treatment plants. Waste sludge from the plants is then trucked to a commercial treatment operation in Langford, or if ferry schedules permit, it is sometimes shipped to the Salt Spring Island Liquid Waste Processing facility.
This service is managed and operated by the CRD Integrated Water Services Department, in partnership with the The Magic Lake Estates Water and Sewer Local Services Committee.
Septic Systems
The majority of Southern Gulf Island residences are on private septic systems. When properly maintained, these systems are an environmentally friendly and economically sound treatment method. Knowledge and regular maintenance of your septic system is essential.
The CRD provides information, workshops, online instructional maintenance videos, and other valuable resources to assist you in caring for your septic system.
