The Drinking Water Management Plan is the overarching plan for Metro Vancouver and its member municipalities, which sets the direction and priority for regional drinking water initiatives. This plan has three goals:

  1. Provide high-quality drinking water​.
  2. Ensure the sustainable use of water resources.
  3. Ensure the efficient supply of water.
