Public Health helps keep our drinking, bathing and wash water safe by monitoring public water systems, reviewing plans for new systems and wells, and providing maintenance resources to property owners.

Water program staff also:

• review new private wells for adequate water availability to meet Growth Management Regulations
• ensure correct well construction and decommission practices are followed
• provide advice to individual well or water system owners
• conduct investigations in response to complaints about problems with public water systems
