Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002

n the Part Two Report of the Walkerton Inquiry, Commissioner Dennis O'Connor recommended that the Ontario government enact a Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002 to deal with matters related to treatment and distribution of drinking water. As articulated by Commissioner O'Connor, the purpose of the Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002 is to gather in one place all legislation and regulations relating to the treatment and distribution of drinking water.

As recommended by Commissioner O'Connor, the government has passed a Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002 which expands on existing policy and practice and introduces new features to protect drinking water in Ontario. The act's purpose is to protect human health through the control and regulation of drinking-water systems and drinking-water testing. The act also provides legislative authority to implement 50 of the 93 recommendations made in Commissioner O'Connor's Part Two Report.
