What Makes Murrayville's Water Unique?

Local geology and source profile

Source: ReservoirTDS: 94.9 mg/LpH: 7.3

Murrayville's drinking water is managed by the Township of Langley, purchasing bulk supply from Metro Vancouver (GVWD) โ€” sourced from the Capilano, Seymour, and Coquitlam mountain watersheds. Water is treated at the Seymour-Capilano Filtration Plant using ozonation, biofiltration, UV disinfection, and chloramination, fully meeting the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (GCDWQ). Hardness in the Murrayville distribution sub-zone is 49.5 mg/L (2.9 gpg) โ€” classified as soft by Health Canada, consistent with the outer south Langley Township Metro Vancouver supply.

Murrayville (the historic community centre of southeast Langley Township โ€” the original village site of the Township of Langley government operations, home to the Langley Memorial Hospital, the historic Murrayville Cemetery, and the commercial hub of the 216th Street and Fraser Highway corridor, one of the oldest rural service communities in the lower Fraser Valley dating from the early settlement era of the 1870s and home to the Langley Centennial Museum) shows 49.5 mg/L โ€” essentially identical to the adjacent Aldergrove sub-zone (50.5 mg/L from batch 31) in the same Township of Langley southeast distribution corridor. Both are consistent with the Metro Vancouver GVWD soft supply at the outer southeast Langley Township pipeline extremity.

With 49.5 mg/L, Murrayville homes are essentially scale-free โ€” occasional kettle cleaning every three months is adequate. Hot water tanks have an excellent operational lifespan. The Township of Langley provides water quality information at tol.ca. Health Canada lead precautionary guidance applies to pre-1975 properties in the established Murrayville heritage neighbourhood.

Geology & Source: Supplied by the Township of Langley from Metro Vancouver (GVWD) reservoir water โ€” the Murrayville Langley Township distribution sub-zone carries soft water at 49.5 mg/L (2.9 gpg), consistent with the outer south Langley Township Metro Vancouver supply.
