This report aims to assess the environmental, social, and financial impacts of the implementation of water reclamation in the Metro Vancouver region. Reclaimed water can provide substantial benefits to the region, with those benefits potentially outweighing the costs of setting up such systems. The study finalizes by recommending the next steps of identifying potential users, setting a pricing structure for this new source, and projecting its distribution costs.
