UTILITY OVERVIEW SEWER
MISSION STATEMENT To provide engineering services for the City’s sanitary sewer system to support the building of a healthy, sustainable community.
KEY PROGRAMS AND SERVICES The Sewer Utility’s primary responsibility is to manage the City’s liquid waste in partnership with the Operations division and Metro Vancouver. The Utility also plans, designs and constructs sanitary sewer infrastructure; manages inflow and infiltration; and undertakes initiatives in support of the region’s Integrated Liquid Waste Resource Management Plan. The rates charged by the Greater Vancouver Sewerage & Drainage District (GVS&DD) for sewer are projected to increase significantly over the next 10 years, as shown in the chart below. In comparison, Surrey’s proposed metered rate is also projected to increase much more slowly than the flat rate.
