Water Conservation in Chilliwack

Groundwater is out of sight, under our feet, but its impact is visible everywhere. Groundwater is water found underground in aquifers, which are natural underground reservoirs. Groundwater is important to people and wildlife, as it feeds streams, rivers, lakes, and wetlands. The City of Chilliwack’s drinking water comes from groundwater in the Sardis-Vedder aquifer. It is a critical resource we can all take actions to conserve.

By using a little less water today, we can continue to meet demand for water and protect sensitive ecosystems. How you can help:
