Share your input on Metro Vancouver’s Drinking Water Management Plan
About the Drinking Water Management Plan update
Metro Vancouver delivers high-quality drinking water to over three million people every day but climate change, seismic risk, and rapid population growth are putting increasing pressure on our drinking water system.
That’s why Metro Vancouver is updating the
Drinking Water Management Plan, the region’s shared strategy for protecting, managing, and investing in the drinking water system over the next decade.
Together with our member jurisdictions, we are working to ensure that drinking water in the region continues to be:
- High-quality: clean and carefully monitored
- Sustainably managed: using only what we need, protecting what we have
- Reliably delivered: through a system that’s built to last
This is our water, our region and your input helps shape what comes next.
Help shape the future of Metro Vancouver’s drinking water
Real voices from across the region: planners, engineers, technicians, students, residents, stewards, reflecting on their connection to water and our shared future.
Every drop of water has a story.
Water connects us all, from the mountains where it begins to the taps in our homes.
Whether it’s a favourite place you return to, a lesson someone once shared, a small way you help conserve, or a moment that made you see water differently, your story matters. Share your connection to water and help shape the future of our region’s drinking water system.
