  • What We Do
    Metro Vancouver is responsible for providing a reliable supply of safe, high-quality drinking water to our member local governments. In turn, local governments distribute the water to residents and businesses.
  • The Regional System
    Metro Vancouver uses a system of watersheds, dams, treatment facilities, reservoirs, pump stations and water mains to transmit water to local governments for distribution to residents and businesses.
  • Drinking Water Management Plan
    The Drinking Water Management Plan sets the direction and priority for regional drinking water initiatives.
  • Reports & Resources

  • Resources for Local Governments
    Find resources for local governments, including operations and maintenance information, and policy and best practices guides.
  • Campaign Materials

    Metro Vancouver creates campaign artwork to share with other local governments. Use or adapt these art files in your program. Find materials to support the lawn watering regulations and water conservation.

  • Regional Water Development Cost Charge
    Metro Vancouver is pursuing legislative changes with the Province to enable development cost charges (DCCs) to be collected to pay for regional water infrastructure. Updates to this process, including draft rates and engagement events will be posted on the DCC project webpage.
