- Water By-law Update - 2024-150.pdf
Water Services asks Council to approve a rewritten Water By-law and repeal the existing one dating from 1991. The update reflects changes in provincial drinking water rules and industry practice since 1991, and was shaped by consultation with internal stakeholders and a review of other Ontario municipalities' water by-laws. Among other things it confirms only certified City operators may operate the municipal drinking water system.
