Water Improvement Districts
Improvement Districts are small water systems operated on an individual basis by primarily volunteer run organizations. These organizations were established by the Province of BC and empowered to carry out the necessary administration and operation of the water system. These systems are tested regularly by the Vancouver Island Health Authority and may be subject to further testing by the Improvement District operator.
To contact your Water Improvement District
- First see your water bill for contact information
- If you don't have access to a bill, talk to your neighbour
- Finally, contact the Province of BC
- Tel: 1.800.663.7867
Private Water Systems
If you have a private well, maintenance and water testing is your responsibility.
Problems with your well system should be referred to one of the many groundwater drilling contractors listed in the yellow pages.
