Our drinking water is collected in the Capilano, Seymour, and Coquitlam reservoirs.
Metro Vancouver manages and operates these reservoirs, ensuring there is no public access to prevent contamination.
Our goals
- Provide high-quality drinking water that meets or exceeds all government safety standards
- Conserve potable water, and ensure water is available at all times
- Protect Vancouver's waterways, and the environment
- Ensure we are prepared for emergencies, including major disasters
- Develop neighbourhood-scale energy centres that use low-carbon, renewable resources to provide heat and hot water
