According to a recent Water Conservation Survey conducted by B.C.’s Ministry of Water, Land and Air Protection and the BCWWA’s Water Sustainability Committee, the majority of water utilities are anticipating that population growth in their regions will necessitate system expansion.
A recent survey showed there to be more than 3,300 water systems in B.C. Ninety-six systems operated by medium- to large-sized municipalities serve 90 percent of the population. The remainder are served by 97 regional districts, 57 small municipalities, 118 water user communities, 468 First Nations reserves, 211 improvement districts, and more than 2,100 park, campground, and commercial systems.
