MetroVancouver WaterCelebrating 100 years of delivering high-quality drinking water
Collaboration on protecting the water supply in the region started as early as 1886 with the founding of the Vancouver and Coquitlam Waterworks. The mission was clear: to find and deliver a good, reliable source of water for a growing population. Then, in 1924, the Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD) was founded. One hundred years later, 2024 marks the celebration of 100 years since the people of this region had the foresight to plan for the future, ensuring the delivery of high-quality drinking water to the region's residents.
