Attention Hastings Park sanctuary visitors: Please be advised that wetland water levels may fluctuate at the sanctuary due to nearby sewer upgrade work. The storm sewer system that feeds the sanctuary wetland will be drained, which could result in a drop in water levels. The sewer work is part of the city's ongoing sewer separation program which sees the replacement of older shared storm and sanitary sewers with separated sewers, eliminating combined sewer overflow (CSO) during heavy rainfalls. The work began Oct. 11 and will take approximately six weeks to complete. The work is necessary for the eventual "day-lighting" of a stream connection between the sanctuary wetland and Burrard Inlet, part of the Hastings Park Master Plan.
