606 water group

Who we are

The 606 Water Group in Sooke is
named after the 606 Aquifer that runs from Jordan River down across to the Esquimalt Lagoon. It is the largest aquifer in the CRD at 537.6 km2. There other aquifers overlying 606 but  most people with wells in the Western Communities and in Sooke region rely on 606 for their water.

Know your water

All fresh water comes from rain and snow which seeps into streams and lakes or soaks into underground aquifers for water storage. Whether your water comes from a well or is piped city water, how we use and treat it matters.

What you can do

With drought becoming a regular part of our lives, we need to learn how to conserve water and use it as effectively as possible. This includes in our homes and in how we conduct our businesses. Every drop counts and small actions on our part can make a big difference!
