The UWSS is continuing to assess the situation and should a need occur the UWSS would implement its Risk Management and Contingency Plans to mitigate any impacts on our drinking water system. The UWSS also participates in a number of research and monitoring projects on both the Canadian and US side of Lake Erie to ensure that our drinking water remains unaffected by this spill.
