The Capital Regional District (CRD) is working towards implementing a Regional Water Supply (RWS) Development Cost Charge (DCC) Program to help fund eligible growth-related water projects.
DCCs are charges collected by local governments to help fund eligible infrastructure expenditures required to service population growth. DCCs are regulated by the Province and are intended to foster fairness, ensure consistency and promote transparency and equitability. The Local Government Act (LGA) sets out the general requirements under which local governments may charge DCCs. Many local governments in BC have established DCC Programs in place, including most municipalities in Greater Victoria. Please review our Frequently Asked Questions for more information on DCCs and the proposed RWS DCC program.
