Description

Alberta Environment regulates waterworks systems that supply water to approximately 80 per cent of the province's population. The purpose of this document is to outline: the process followed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Drinking Water to develop the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality; how these guidelines will be implemented by Alberta Environment; how these guidelines are monitored and reported; and the protocol to be followed in the event that a non-bacteriological drinking water test result exceeds a health limit. It is intended that this document will increase the awareness and confidence Albertans have in the drinking water provided to them by regulated waterworks systems.
