We're fortunate to have some of the best drinking water in the world. Coming from mountain watersheds, our drinking water is either treated locally or purchased from Metro Vancouver. It is then delivered to your taps through infrastructure that includes a complex network of mains, pump stations and treatment areas.
Once water goes down the drain or toilet, it must go somewhere. The District's sanitary sewer system is a complex network of infrastructure that transports and treats wastewater before it is released back into the environment.
Additionally, a complex maze of underground storm drains and culverts carry rain and melting snow to our waterways and eventually the ocean.
