Some golfers are really keen on the
game. On one of the slower days

Protecting our environment. ® Ontario
When it comes to water,
the expectations are clear.
If your drinking water is meant for public use,
you must know for certain that it’s safe.
Owners and operators of certain drinking water systems must now
comply with the requirements outlined in Ontario’s drinking water
systems regulation (Reg. 252/05, June 2005).
If the general public has access to your drinking water, whether it’s via
taps, washrooms, drinking water fountains or showers, this regulation
affects you. Some establishments included are restaurants, service
stations, churches, arenas and seasonal residences (such as campgrounds
and communal cottage developments).
Clean, safe drinking water is vital to our health. Do your part to protect
the quality of drinking water in your community.
