Our efforts to reduce environmental impacts


At Withey's we recover customers’ germicidal UV (mercury) lamps, and e-waste and take them to our local recycling centre for safe-recycling through BC Product Stewardship Program. We also encourage the use of longer-lasting better quality filters and treatment systems to reduce landfill waste. We recycle all our shipping cardboard and packing materials and consolidate our suppliers and order in bulk supplies to save on shipping costs and greenhouse gases. We are huge proponents of water conservation and not using bottled water. Drink clean water from your tap! And our technicians operate fuel efficient/hybrid service vehicles.

We are making the leap!



With deep thanks to you, our valued customers over the many years, Withey’s Water business has grown to the point where we needed to make important organizational changes to continue providing excellent customer service and meet the future and growing needs of our hundreds of customers here on Gabriola and surrounding islands.
