Ontario: Guide for Drinking Water System Owners
Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment has posted A Guide for Drinking Water System Owners Seeking To Undertake A Backflow Prevention Program. The guide:
- provides comprehensive information and suggested approaches that drinking water system owners/operators voluntarily seeking to undertake a backflow prevention program could use; and
- addresses aspects pertinent to the design of water treatment units and cross-connection control considerations that may help safeguard drinking water consumers in a more standardized and consistent manner and thus further strengthen the drinking water safety net.
While the document was created for Ontario facilities, the information and guidance will likely be useful for all our members.
