2010 City of WL Water Report

The City of Williams Lake has just posted its' 2010 Annual Water Report on its' website, as per provincial Drinking Water regulation and legislation

You can find the report here

However, I would note a few items:

1) Information in the report is almost 6 years old including the emergency plan.  One would think that an relevant and up to date emergency plan would be standard practice.  Can we say Walkerton, Ontario?

2) There should be a report from WL City Staff to WL Council annually like Quesnel Council has done, on presenting the Annual Water Report formally.  Such a Staff report could include items like positives of our water system and challenges that the City of WL's water system faces like training, infrastructure, etc.  What should not happen is doing the simple act of placing the Annual Drinking Water Report on a website and calling it satisfactory because I, as one water user/City taxpayer, do not believe it is

Perhaps the next WL City Council can take this matter up and make this change because as it is - I would strongly argue that the City of Williams Lake, like the City of Quesnel, is meeting the intent of the provincial Drinking Water regulation/legislation however unlike the City of Quesnel - it is my personal opinion that the City of WL is not meeting the spirit of the same drinking water regulation/legislation
