As Dawson Creek considers transferring drinking water from the Peace River, BC could make energy companies fund the project.

The projected cost of a $100-million water pipeline stretching more than 50 kilometres from the Peace River to drought-stressed Dawson Creek is nearly five times greater than what the city received in property tax revenue last year.
