Aquifer Storage Recovery (ASR) component of the Englishman River Water Intake Project which will increase the water supply capacity for Parksville, RDN and Qualicum Beach to meet increased water demand up to the year 2050.  The target storage capacity will be 1,000,000 m3 in the ASR well field.  The ASR wells which store treated drinking water will allow a major reduction in the water treatment plant size and represent a significant cost saving over alternative water storage options.
