The province has confirmed water of poor quality flowing through the Nooksack River in Washington state is coming from multiple sources in B.C.
This comes a month after Washington farmers and officials called upon B.C. to investigate and address high levels of fecal bacteria coming from the Canadian side of the border.
A joint letter sent in June from the Whatcom Family Farmers and the North Lynden Watershed Improvement District addressed to B.C. Premier David Eby and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee said routine water quality testing done by Whatcom County and the state’s agriculture department found bacteria at levels over 200 times higher than the water quality standard.
