An amended Drinking Water Protection Act and Regulation came into force May 16, 2003. 

The new act and regulations replace the Safe Drinking Water Regulation under the Health Act.  The changes establish a comprehensive and coordinated framework for protecting the province's drinking water from source to tap.  The government is working to improve standards at all levels of water supply to ensure safe, reliable and accessible drinking water for all British Columbians.
