RARE OPPORTUNITY — BC Gov Licensed Natural Spring Water Property
Calgary, AB T2X 2M2, Calgary
1 day ago
Description
This is not just land. This is a government licensed water source.
For sale: A unique Creston, BC property that comes with one of the most difficult-to-obtain assets in Canada — a BC Government Commercial Water Bottling Licence (No. 504237), issued through the Ministry of Forests via FrontCounter BC under BC's Water Sustainability Act, granting the right to commercially bottle and sell 1,500,000 litres of natural spring water per year.
The licence transfers with the land. No reapplication. No new process. Buy the property, the water rights come with it.
WHY THIS LICENCE IS RARE
BC's Water Sustainability Act came into force in 2016. New commercial bottling licences became nearly impossible to obtain. By 2019, municipalities were calling for a full moratorium. On March 1, 2022, the window to claim a historical precedence date closed permanently.
This licence predates all of it. Precedence date: May 31, 2015. That date cannot be bought, applied for, or recreated. This is the only way to get it.
THE WATER

pH: 6.9

Municipal tap water runs 200-400 PPM. Evian and Voss sit in the 200-350 PPM range.
