Report to Council: August 12, 2025
At the Regular Council meeting held Tuesday, August 12, 2025, Council unanimously carried a resolution to allocate 33.12 m3/day to 825 Campbell Street per the District of Tofino Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1315, 2022. Following this allocation, the remaining raw water supply allocated for new development is as follows:
Residential: 4.61 m3 | Commercial, Industrial, Institutional: 9.11 m3 | Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation: 60 m3
District staff are currently working with several applications from developers. Combined, these applications would require approximately 10-30 cubic metres of water per day for residential developments and 20-70 cubic metres for industrial, commercial, and institutional developments. This exceeds the current cubic metres available.
Based on current demand, the remaining 4.61 m³/day for residential use may be fully allocated. Once the current allocation is fully committed, the District cannot approve additional development that requires new water connections. This may delay some projects until an alternative water source is available.
