Drinking Water System Receives Top Marks
Last week at Council, we learned that our Drinking Water system received 100 per cent compliance for the 2022 year. In Ontario, we are heavily regulated through the Safe Drinking Act and its regulations. As part of those regulations, the Municipality’s drinking water system is closely inspected by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation, and Parks each year to ensure that it complies with the Act.
Additionally, our Drinking Water Quality Management System was audited by an external auditing agency. We received a perfect score - our first ever perfect score. This means that the Municipality followed all water related procedures with no suggested opportunities for improvement. This reflects the incredible work of our staff in the Water Division.
A rating of 100 per cent for the Municipality’s drinking water system and a perfect score for our Drinking Water Quality Management System is a great accomplishment. Next time you see our Water Division staff out and about in the community, please take the opportunity to thank them or give them a thumbs up!
