To keep connected during the COVID-19 pandemic, White Rock Mayor Darryl Walker is hosting a Facebook Live update after last nights City Council meeting.

The City has fielded several calls lately from residents who've been approached by sales agents who ask to come into their home to test their water. They give the impression that they're from the City. Residents should know that it's people trying to sell a product. The City conducts ongoing water quality tests and all data is available on our Water Quality page: http://ow.ly/zCrr50CqCkA. If you have questions and concerns about your water, contact the City at [email protected] or 604-541-2181
