• “The CVRD started by looking at the possibility of selling bulk water from DIWLSA, but they ran into the same liability issues... The CVRD concluded that the cost was very similar to off-island haulers... The decision was made not to set up a bulk water station on DIWLSA.” — The Islands Grapevine – July 11th, 2019 (July 11th, 2019)
