Building Sustainable Small Water Systems – Call for Participants from Invermere
- Are you involved in the operation or management of a small water system within your community?
- Do you feel a bit overwhelmed at times and don’t know where to begin to make improvements given the many challenges being faced?
- Do you desire a better understanding of some key building blocks that can help your community water system become more resilient and sustainable for the long term?
- Would you like some free help and guidance towards getting on the right track, reducing your stress, and providing peace-of-mind that the right actions are being taken?
The BC Water & Waste Association (BCWWA) is delivering a program to build financial and management capacity among small water systems in BC to help safeguard public health and the environment. Through training, networking sessions and access to vendors and experts, the BCWWA will provide representatives from small water systems with the information and tools to advance the financial sustainability, operational resilience and safety of their systems.
Who should participate?
We are looking for representatives from small water systems i.e. operators, owners, managers, elected or appointed councilors and trustees for an improvement district, strata or water users group from across BC to participate in the Building Sustainable Small Water Systems program.
Are you part of a Water Users Community (WUC), water society, Mobile Home Park, strata, utility, or small Improvement District? Does your water system serve a population of up to 500 people? Is your system independent and not directly connected to a municipality or regional district and as a result, not eligible for government funding for upgrades or major repairs? If you answered “yes” to the above questions, you may be a great candidate to participate.

Is your SCADA system as secure as you think? Are there ways to improve on your SCADA system through the application of new SCADA technologies…. YOU BET!
