YEARLY REPORT ON POTABLE WATER
No later than March 31 of each year, the Town is required to complete a report on the quality of water supplied for human consumption during the period from January 1 to December 31 of the previous year.
This report must indicate the minimum number of samples to be taken, the number of samples taken for each parameter, and the number of samples analyzed by an accredited laboratory during this period. The report must also specify, for each exceedance of standards observed, the parameter in question, the location concerned, the maximum authorized concentration, the measured concentration and, where applicable, the measures taken by the person responsible to rectify the situation.
You will find these reports in the download area of this tab.
