This municipality contains nine communities which have a total of approximately 20 kilometers of coastline along Conception Bay. A vast amount of housing is built along these scenic shorelines that overlook the Atlantic Ocean. Unfortunately, much of the water and sewer in this area runs adjacent to the shoreline and this poses a threat to the town’s infrastructure. As time passes, the shorelines constantly erode and wear away. This causes problems with the amount of ground coverage that is protecting the buried infrastructure.
