  Water Efficient Community

Building a water efficient community is a program initiative under the City of Chilliwack’s Water Conservation Strategy.  The Water Efficient Community Program includes public education as well as other initiatives that help residents conserve water.

 

The City of Chilliwack currently has one of the best sources of drinking water in the world.  Unfortunately, we are quickly approaching the maximum volume that we can draw from our aquifer per day.  By conserving water today, we reduce energy consumption and help sustainably manage this precious groundwater resource.

 

Like all other municipalities in the Lower Mainland and most municipalities in BC, Chilliwack will continue to be water efficient through the summer water restrictions, the subsidized rain barrel program, the water conservation kits and the toilet rebate program. 

 

Featured Programs for City of Chilliwack Residents:

 

 

Toilet Rebate Program

Rain Barrel Program

Water Conservation Kits

 

 

Public Education

In Home Water Conservation Kits
  • Conservation is just as important in the home as it is outside. The majority of water consumption comes from domestic use.
    Low Flow Toilets
  • Toilets represent 30% of indoor water use. Converting to a low-flow toilet can save between 80-100L of water per toilet per day. The City is offering $50 rebates when you purchase and install an low-flow toilet.
    Public Education
  • Like many communities in British Columbia, Chilliwack has adopted a proactive water efficiency program that ensures residents and businesses alike are working together to conserve water, especially during the drier summer months.
    Rain Barrels
  • Rain barrels offer an alternate source of water for watering plants in and around the home. The city has purchased rain barrels and are offering them at a subsidized cost.
