Regulation for non-residential
and non-municipal seasonal residential systems that do not serve
designated facilities
(Ontario Regulation 252/05)
(Regulation made under the Safe
Drinking Water Act, 2002)
Ontario Regulation 252/05 regulates drinking water systems
serving non-residential and seasonal residential uses until
their intended transfer to the public health units, as recommended
by the Advisory Council on Drinking Water Quality and Testing
Standards, expected 2007. Go to Ontario
Regulation 252/05.
The Ministry of the Environment oversees the current requirements
– see below for guides on these requirements.
After the proposed transfer of responsibility, public health
units will evaluate risks at individual systems and develop
a system-specific water protection plan to ensure compliance
with provincial drinking water quality standards. Requirements
may change when the new approach is implemented. Additional
information will be made available on this site as soon as it
is available.
O. Reg. 252/05 does not apply to municipal and private systems
that provide water to year-round residential developments or
designated facilities. Designated facilities include children’s
camps, health care facilities, a delivery agent care facility,
a school or private school, a social care facility, a university,
college or institution with authority to grant degrees. These
systems are regulated by the Drinking
Water Systems Regulation (O. Reg. 170/03).
