- Water Services' Updated Operational Plan Endorsement - 2023-207.pdf
Asks Council, as owner of the drinking water system, to endorse the updated Water Services Operational Plan, a document required under the Safe Drinking Water Act that shows the City's water quality management system meets provincial standards. It explains the system, sets out the owner's and operator's responsibilities, and supports ongoing improvement. First endorsed in 2009, it must be re-endorsed within a year of each new Council term or when significant changes or licence renewals occur.

49:05And for my summary on that,
49:07we just had a discussion with staff
49:09in regards to that matter, with some questions and answers.
49:12And there was only a receiving of information back there.
49:16Nothing, no direction given at all.
49:19But with that, we do, as part of the summary,
49:22we're gonna bring out this issue to the open session.
49:26So at this time, I'd look to Council Richardson,

49:39And Councillor Downer, you're okay to second that.
49:43Thank you so much.
49:45Before I call the vote, anything further on this item?
49:48Seeing and hearing none,
49:49is anyone against the operational plan for water services?
49:54Okay, seeing and hearing none, that's unanimous.
49:57Thank you so much.
49:57That wraps up the in-camera portion.
50:02So we're gonna head right into the open session now, officially.
50:07We've taken care of that first item,
