In 2003, the Drinking Water Protection Act came into force and designated the Ministry of Health as the lead agency for drinking water issues within the province of British Columbia. This report outlines the provincial government's, health authorities' and water suppliers' activities and accomplishments from May 16, 2003--the day the Act came into force--until March 31, 2005. This report includes the background information on how the Drinking Water Protection Act is administered in BC. It places the activities, progress and accomplishments of the provincial government, health authorities and water suppliers during this period. It also sets the foundation for future accountability reporting, building on an accountability framework developed by the Auditor General and making a series of recommendations to help guide planning and future activities.
