Raising Industrial Water Rates

Ending the Great Water Giveaway

Right now, BC has the lowest industrial water rates in Canada, effectively giving away one of our most vital public resources to some of the world’s largest industries. Meanwhile, communities are left struggling to fund the response to worsening droughts, floods, wildfires, and drinking water crises.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Bringing BC’s industrial water rates in line with other provinces is a fair, practical way to:

  1.  Fund stronger watershed security
  2. Support sustainable economic growth.
  3. Keep communities safe and resilient to floods, fires, and water shortages.
  4. Safeguard BC jobs, grow food, and protect the economy — every industry depends on water.
  5. Do it all without costing taxpayers a dime.

This is a simple, fair, and fiscally responsible solution that will build long-term watershed security across BC.

Ask your MLA and Premier Eby to End BC’s Water Giveaway

British Columbia has the lowest industrial water rates in the country, effectively giving away massive volumes of water—our most precious natural resource—to some of the world’s largest companies. Meanwhile, communities across the province are struggling to fund efforts to fight increasing droughts, floods, and wildfires.

By ending the Great Water Giveaway and bringing industrial water rates in line with other provinces, the BC government can take a practical, fiscally responsible step toward lasting watershed security across the province—without increasing costs for taxpayers.
