To help you save water and money the AMWSC is offering a number of rebates for Abbotsford and Mission residents connected to the municipal water system.
Residents living in the Clearbrook Waterworks District (CWWD) are not eligible for rebates.
Due to high peak water demands in the summer, the AMWSC implements water restrictions each year. Watering restrictions will ensure that Abbotsford and Mission residents continue to have a high quality water supply capable of supporting a growing population.
We are currently in Stage 1 of the Water Shortage Response Plan.
