NR: City of Ottawa releases 2012 Municipal Drinking Water Systems Summary Report
Ottawa – The City of Ottawa has released the 2012 Municipal Drinking Water Systems Summary Report for the seven residential drinking water systems within the City limits. Under the Safe Water Drinking Act, an annual summary report must be circulated to all members of City Council by March 31 of the following year.
“Ottawa’s drinking water is exceptional,” said Mayor Watson. “Ensuring the quality and safety of our City’s drinking water is a responsibility that everyone at the City of Ottawa takes seriously.”
The reports provide Councillors with an in-depth review of the performance of the City’s drinking water systems in 2012, with particular focus on regulatory compliance. Among the issues reviewed are drinking water quality, drinking water demand, drinking water quality monitoring and reporting as well as other regulatory matters including operator certification and training. Also included are the results from the detailed Drinking Water System inspections performed by the Ministry of the Environment.
For 2012, six out of the City’s seven drinking water systems received a perfect 100 per cent score across the board. The Greely – Shadow Ridge Well System which is operated by the City but owned by Donwel Land Inc., received a rating of 96.8 percent due to two incidents of sustained water use during the summer which exceeded the system’s maximum daily flow rate. The quality of drinking water was not affected. The Shadow Ridge system services approximately 125 homes in the south of Ottawa.
“The summary report makes it clear - Ottawa residents enjoy the highest quality water,” said Councillor Maria McRae, Chair of the City’s Environment Committee. “City staff perform over 130,000 tests annually on our drinking water. We are dedicated to providing our residents with the safest drinking water in the world.”
This information supplements the 2012 Annual Report information for each drinking water system already available on the City’s website, ottawa.ca.
