SMALL WATER SYSTEMS - NEEDS
BC Ministry of Health and Regional Health Authorities know small water systems have challenges.
Some SWS do not fully understand how to reduce risks
Many SWS lack technical expertise, financial resources, knowledge of government regulations, and
other skills like asset and financial management
SWS struggle to achieve the outcomes specified by the Drinking Water Protection Act, Regulation and
Drinking Water Treatment Objectives.
Some small systems remain isolated & do not share information with, or cooperate with others
