The 2015 Annual Water System Performance reports say Oxford County's drinking systems performed well last year.
OXFORD COUNTY - County Council has received a report about their local drinking water systems in 2015. Council members were very impressed with the results. Public Works treated and supplied over 11 million cubic metres of drinking water for the county last year. Warden David Mayberry tells Heart FM that people in the county should feel that their drinking water is safe.
"People should feel, every time you turn on a tap, completely confident that the water you're drinking is safe for themselves and their families. As county council being responsible for that, we want people to feel that their water is safe and clean and it's good for their family."
Of the 17 drinking water systems in the county, 12 received 100% compliance rates while 2 received 99% and 1 received a 98%. Don McKay, the Mayor of East Zorra Tavistock, explains what these compliance rates mean.
"The compliance results look at not just the quality of the water, which all of our systems had safe water levels, but the compliance also includes all the proper procedures. So if you were a day late, or you didn't measure the level of the well that day when it was supposed to be done, that gets counted as non compliance".
Compliance results weren't available for 4 water systems located in South Oxford and the Tillsonburg area. This would be due to a statistical anomaly, between the province and the county. But Tillsonburg Mayor Steven Molnar says we can expect those numbers soon.
"According to the Director of Public Works within the next 2-3 weeks or so; that number will have flown through the auditing of it between this level and the province and it will be shared with the public".
