Drinking Water Law & Due Diligence in Ontario
This 21hr / 2.1 CEU course is focused on the different legal and legal type components of Drinking Water in Ontario. Throughout this
course, we'll review Acts and Regulations, in addition to Guidelines, Procedures and Standards. This course will provide an in-depth
skim of practically all legislative framework for Drinking Water in Ontario. We review over 20 Acts with in depth reviews of over 10
regulations. We focus deeply on the Safe Drinking Water Act and Regulations 170/03 and 128/04. We’ll explore the Disinfection of
Drinking Water in Ontario and the Ontario Watermain Disinfection Procedures in addition to AWWA and NSF Standards. There’s a
whole lot more too.
You’re provided a PDF manual that will serve as an authoritative reference manual for years to come. The manual has complete
versions of O.Reg’s 170/03, 128/04, 169/03, 242/05, 248/03, 319/08 - Small Drinking Water Systems, 675/98 - The Reporting of
Spills in Ontario. The E2 or federal Environmental Emergency regulations, as well as full versions of Ontario’s Watermain (2020
version) and Disinfection of Drinking Water procedures complete with CT tables included. The course is worth taking just for the
manual. I suggest you print it and place in a binder or order a bound copy.
This course is updated annual following the legislative annual consolidations. First developed in 2008, this unique course, it’s format
and breadth has been continually evolving.
How the Course Works:
You take the “Unit Content Quizzes” and harvest answers from the included PDF manual. The progressive questions will guide you
through the manual in a linear and sequential manor, providing short chunks of knowledge, interesting stories and nuanced
guidance. The course marks your questions immediately and saves your progress at each question. Take as long as you like on the
quizzes. You can log out and resume a quiz at your leisure and availability. And it‘s completely open book, use the manual or the
Internet to harvest answers. Complete each of the 6-Unit Content Quizzes with a 70% in each unit to unlock the Course & Trainer
Assessment e-form. Complete the e-form to immediately unlock your Course Completion Certificate. If you’re a Certified Operator in

I’m sure you’ll agree this course format is the best, easiest and most interesting way to assume the depth and richness of this
seemingly boring but vitally necessary knowledge set. When you have it all laid out, you may find it quite interesting.
