Ottawa - The City of Ottawa’s seven drinking water systems have received a perfect score in Drinking Water System inspections performed by the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) for the review period of 2013-2014. The MOE results were included in the 2013 Municipal Drinking Water Systems Summary Report which was delivered to Mayor and Council today.
The MOE inspections involved up to 14 different aspects of operations including drinking water quality, water quality monitoring programs and operator certification.
"These results would not be possible without the diligence and expertise of City staff,” said Mayor Jim Watson. "Ask residents what they want from their City government, and safe, reliable drinking water is at the top of the list every time. I’m pleased, and proud, of the results we’ve received today.”
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. The report provides an in-depth review of the performance of the City’s drinking water systems in 2013, with particular focus on regulatory compliance and allows Councillors to achieve their oversight responsibilities.
"Turning on the tap in Ottawa not only provides drinking water, but also peace of mind that our water is tested 100,000’s of times per year to ensure its safety,” said Councillor Maria McRae, Chair of the City’s Environment Committee. "City Council and staff are committed to providing a reliable supply of safe drinking water to Ottawa residents and to delivering excellent water services through responsiveness, accountability and innovation."
This information supplements the 2013 Annual Report information for each drinking water system already available on the City’s website, ottawa.ca.
