Water Quality is responsible for
- setting water quality guidelines,
- developing provincial policies to ensure standards are met,
- coordinating drinking water source control programs and
- leading provincial water quality monitoring programs.
To carry out this mandate Water Quality protects water from its source high in the mountains to its eventual destination in the sea.
Regional Offices
There are 7 Regional Offices with their own web pages which may have water-related reports that are not duplicated on this headquarters (Victoria) water quality web page.
