Water and Wastewater Infrastructure

​The Climate 2050 Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Primer provides an overview of the strategies employed by Metro Vancouver to achieve carbon neutrality and climate resilience for the regional drinking water and wastewater systems, diversify our energy sources, pursue energy recovery opportunities, and improve infrastructure resilience to protect communities from climate impacts.

​What can I do?

Residents, businesses, and communities all play a role in building climate resilience. You can help by:

• Conserving water at home and at work, especially during summer droughts
• Supporting wastewater reduction through proper disposal and conservation practices
• Preparing for climate hazards by reducing flood risks on your property and safeguarding against extreme weather
• Choosing low carbon options in daily life — from energy use to transportation — to help reduce regional emissions
