Drinking Water in Chilliwack
In Chilliwack, we have good reason to be proud of our drinking water. In 1997 and 1999 (the last year of the contest), the City of Chilliwack received an award from the Canadian Water Resource Association for having the "best drinking water in Canada". In 1998, the City received the second-place award. Although the Sardis-Vedder Aquifer currently provides excellent-quality water, it is highly vulnerable to contamination.
