Highlights
All regulated inspections of small drinking water systems and recreational water systems were conducted in accordance with the Ontario Public Health Standards and Health Protection Act.
A data base and map of all private wells in Wellington, Dufferin and Guelph is being created based on the Well Water Survey conducted earlier in 2018. This will enable staff to follow-up with residents who have no recent record of testing their well and to better target messaging on how to safely manager their well.
