  • Salt Spring Island Water Optimization Report
    1 Salt Spring Island Water Service Optimization Study December 2019 – December 2020 Prepared by the INNOVA Strategy Group 1 Salt Spring Island Water Service Optimization Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Like most Canadian communities, including those in British Columbia, water utilities struggle to provide safe and reliable drinking water. Challenges range from inadequate supply to aging infrastructure. Recognizing that Salt Spring Island is not exempt from these challenges, the agencies involved with on-Island regulation and governance of water (Capital Regional District, North Salt Spring Waterworks District, Islands Trust, Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development (FLNR), Ministry of Health (MoH), Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing) are working together to improve delivery and develop a plan for sustainable supply, maintenance, and delivery in the future. For the past 100 years, various Salt Spring Island water systems have been installed and improved with limited coordination between systems. The North Salt Spring Waterworks District (NSSWD) is the largest system and provides water to more than 50% of the Island population. NSSWD also provides operations and maintenance services to six other systems on a fee-for-service basis. The Capital Regional District (CRD) manages five systems; operating and maintaining two of them. There are also a number of private systems and individual wells that are operated independently, totalling approximately one-third of Island water use. The Salt Spring Island Water Service Optimization Study was commissioned by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs & Housing in collaboration with the CRD and the NSSWD following a November 2019 competitive Request for Proposals. The genesis of the study followed the failed 2017 referendum for municipal incorporation by Salt Spring residents, prompting the NSSWD to request that the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing allow it access to grants and gas tax funding through means other than incorporation.

On April 1 of 2009, 2010, and 2011, fare increases are calculated depending on the Consumer Price Index for BC.
