A new report from the BC Water & Waste Association explores the state of our water, sewer and storm water systems in the face of aging infrastructure, growth, strengthened regulations, seismic risk, and climate change, and the capacity of local governments to maintain and renew water and wastewater infrastructure.

The report asks key questions:

• Are BC municipalities financially well positioned?
• Are water and wastewater rates recovering the full cost of service, including infrastructure renewal and replacement?
• How much investment is needed to sustain our water and wastewater infrastructure?
• Are municipalities financially ready for unexpected costs or failures?
