Small Water Systems
Across British Columbia, there are nearly 5,000 small water systems serving communities of all kinds. These systems contain more than two (2) connections and support up to 500 people in 24 hours. Each small water system faces its own unique challenges — from limited resources to complex regulations — but they shouldn’t need to face them alone.
BC Small Water Systems Community Network
The BC Small Water Systems Community Network brings together small system owners, trustees, operators and supporters to share knowledge, access resources and build resilience.
