Many questions about why the City of Williams Lake is considering water meters in 2019. The obvious rationale is the available grants and water conservation. Additionally, we have taken a strategic approach that includes a water management study, identifying alternate sources for industry water metering and finally treatment.

Metering will show our community is responsible with our water and identify deficiencies such as leaks and high users. Once these deficiencies are addressed, a water treatment plant and infrastructure can be sized properly for what we use and the price will be less than what we would pay at todays consumption. We have access to some large grants in the next few years and we want any advantage we can get.

The City of Williams Lake Public Works Department is happy to answer any questions residents may have
