SOVA’s water guide in print

The Alberni Valley Drinking Water Reference Guide is now available in print form.

Save Our Valley Alliance (SOVA) launched the guide last spring at a public open house. Available only online until now, the 229-page guide is intended as a resource toward a better understanding of local water systems, an awareness of challenges and issues, and an inspiration for the protection of local watersheds.

Copies of the book will be given to local governments and the high school among others. The guide will also be available at the public library.
