ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER REPORTS (EER)

The Drinking Water System Regulation (O. Reg. 170/03) made under the Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002, regulates municipal and private water systems that provide water to year-round residential developments and designated facilities that serve vulnerable populations such as children and the elderly. This regulation prescribes strict and mandatory drinking water system requirements including water treatment design and water testing requirements.

Many owners make the mistake of installing treatment equipment before contacting an engineer and sometimes end up spending additional time and money correcting or adding to what has been done. Drinking water systems require a Professional Engineer to prepare an Engineering Evaluation Report to certify that the water system is in compliance with regulatory requirements.

With the expertise of our professional engineer and hydrogeologist, this process is made easy. Our service includes the initial water sample collection, laboratory analysis, data interpretation, well inspection to make an assessment for a GUDI well, drinking water system design and procurement of required equipment, completion of drinking water system profile and laboratory service notification forms, supervision of equipment installation, final site inspection and completion of the EER with required declaration documentation for the MOE.
