Chemical Drinking Water Quality
Monitoring Schedule
 |
|
The focus of the sampling program is tap water quality monitoring. As a part of the monitoring plan the department will select sampling locations within distribution systems that provide coverage of two thirds of the distribution system or 70 -75 % of the serviced population. The sampling program has been designed in such a way that at least two tap water samples for inorganic parameters (one spring and one fall for groundwater supplies, one summer and one winter for surface water supplies) will be collected from each of the 539 public water supply serviced areas in the province.
All sampling and related work will be carried out by the Water Resources Management Division. Please note that while every reasonable effort will be made to collect all of the drinking water quality samples listed in the schedule circumstances such as inaccessibility to the site, lack of necessary chlorination, sample spoilage, staff travel restrictions or other factors will result in a certain percentage of missed samples. Data gaps will be filled on a priority basis but there will be limits placed on filling these gaps due to cost efficiency considerations.
