An impending earthquake will destroy Vancouver’s water systems

Some gloom from the West Coast today: This massive earthquake, which experts have warned will strike Vancouver Island and coastal cities in British Columbia sometime in the coming decades, may leave the region more FUBAR than originally expected.

Underground water systems and pipes that run through Metro Vancouver could break in 267 different places, according to a new report leaked to Glacier Media. This level of devastating damage to infrastructure could mean that a basic human need will be completely eliminated, leaving more than 2.6 million people in the Greater Vancouver area without access to drinking water and clearly no way to flush out human waste.

“The specific information about damage to certain water pipes, pumping stations, and reservoirs is clearly not in the public’s eyes,” John Clagg, a geologist and seismologist at Simon Fraser University, told Vancouver Fabulous. It saves the report’s findings away under “kinda scary”.

The news raises the following question: Where and how will people get drinking water after a natural disaster of this kind? Metro Vancouver authorities are still studying possible answers.

“I’m afraid we’re going to have this outage in these vital services for very long periods of time,” Klage said.

One of the terrifying parts about an earthquake of this magnitude, other than the fact that the ground will shake violently for several minutes causing the destruction of buildings, bridges, and roads, is that the ground essentially turns into a lousy mess through a massive bottom. When this happens in Vancouver, about 30 percent of water pipes will be at risk of damage from liquefaction. That’s about 140 km, about the distance from Vancouver to Hope (or Toronto to Blue Mountain, for you Ontarians), out of a total of 498 km of mains water in the area.

Residents of the Pacific Northwest, including Vancouver, have been hearing about the dangers of The Big One for years. This part of the world, though insanely beautiful with mild winters, lies on a fault line called the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Life above fault lines comes with increased risk of earthquake activity, and this particular line is 1,000 kilometers long, starting in the northern part of California and extending all the way north of Vancouver Island.
