In response to concerns raised by the CTC Source Protection Committee around water quality Issues at municipal production wells, a multi-phase investigation was initiated to review and update statistical trend analysis methods (phase 1), update Issue identification methods and develop a delisting criterion (phase 2), conduct hydrogeological assessment on wells with existing Issues (phase 3), and in collaboration with the Oak Ridges Moraine Groundwater Program (ORMGP) develop an automated water quality reporting tool (Phase 4).
ORMGP
The Oak Ridges Moraine Groundwater Program reflects the intent of fifteen government agencies (municipalities and conservation authorities) to jointly manage, synthesize and disseminate water resources data, analysis, knowledge, geologic interpretations, and numerical models over a 30,000 km² area situated in south-central Ontario.
