Water

White Rock's water is obtained from the Sunnyside Uplands Aquifer and seven wells located throughout the city. The aquifer and wells have been the sources of the City's water for decades.

The City's water utility provides safe and clean drinking water to its residents. The utility serves a population of approximately 20,000 people. However, water services in White Rock had been owned and operated by private owners until the City acquired it in October of 2015. Since taking over the operations, the City has taken many steps to improve the water quality. Please see the infographic below for a snapshot of water-related milestones the City has accomplished to date.
