Regulatory

The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation & Parks (MECP) is a government body overseeing the following:

Every owner and operator of a drinking water system must ensure that:

• the system’s water meets Ontario’s Drinking Water Quality Standards
• anyone who operates or works on their system is properly trained and licensed
• drinking water tests are done by licensed, accredited laboratories
• adverse test results are reported to the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks and the local medical officer of health

Section 11 of Regulation 170/03 made under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) requires that an annual performance report be prepared for a water system and submitted to any water systems that are supplied with water. Therefore, the UWSS must prepare an Annual Performance Report and provide a copy of this report to each of the four (4) municipal councils prior to February 28th of the following year.
