The Eagle Cliff water system is one of six water systems owned and operated by the Bowen Island Municipality. Water is supplied from both a deep groundwater well, and an open reservoir to some 97 residential connections. The distribution system consists of several pressure zones. All water service connections have service meters, and seasonal meter based billing is in effect.
Annual Water Quality Reports:
The Municipality publishes an annual report for the system as a requirement of its operating permits under the Drinking Water Protection Act. The reports include various information including administration, water quality data, water consumption data, maps, budgets, and other pertinent information.
System Operations:
The Public Works Department maintains the Eagle Cliff water system to protect the health and safety of the public and to protect the environment. This municipal system has its own Local Advisory Committee made up of community volunteers, and its own bylaws and rate schedules.
The Public Works Department maintains all water mains, and the individual house connections from the main to the property line dividing private property from the roadway. The Water Utilities are fully funded from user rates and funds for each water supply area are kept separate.
