This document discusses water policy and case studies from local governments in British Columbia. It emphasizes two key messages: 1) Risk related to water needs to be managed while also connecting to the community. 2) Progressive water policy requires fair economics. The document then provides examples from various municipalities and regional districts that relate to these two messages, including studies on sanitary systems, fire protection, pricing updates, and irrigation demands.
