IDENTIFYING THE LABORATORY THAT WILL CARRY OUT LABORATORY TESTING

As specified in Ontario’s Drinking-water Systems Regulation O. Reg. 170/03, this form must be completed and delivered to the

Ministry of the Environment prior to the laboratory analyzing your water samples for required parameters for the first time. Once you

have completed this form, you do not need to re-submit it unless there are any changes in a laboratory being contracted to analyze any

required parameter (i.e. Section 2 of this form). Please note that this form is to be used for the identification of Regulation testing and

not for the purpose of the Engineer’s Report testing. Failure to notify the parties in accordance with the Regulation and/or

submission of false information constitutes an offence. All testing for Ontario Drinking-Water Quality Standards and health-

related parameters required in a MOE Certificate of Approval, Order or Direction must be performed by a licensed

laboratory.

5) GUDI (ground water under direct influence of surface water).

The following are deemed GUDI:

A DWS that obtains water from a well that is not a drilled well or obtains water from a well that does not have a watertight casing

that extends to a depth of at least 6 metres

A DWS that obtains water from an infiltration gallery

A DWS that supplies water at the rate of 0.58 L/s or less and that obtains water from a well, any part of which is within 15 metres

of surface water

A DWS that supplies water at the rate greater than 0.58 L/s and that obtains water from a overburden well, any part of which is

within 100 metres of surface water

A DWS that supplies water at the rate greater than 0.58 L/s and that obtains water from a bedrock well, any part of which is

within 500 metres of surface water

A DWS that exhibits evidence of contamination by surface water or

A DWS for which a report has been prepared by a professional engineer or professional hydrogeologist that concludes that the

system’s raw water supply is ground water under the direct influence of surface water.

6) Seven-days shutdown. Sampling and testing is not required during a period of seven or more consecutive days when: the

drinking-water system is not in operation, the drinking-water system supplies water only to private residences that are

occupied by the owner of the system, members of the family of the owner of the system, employees or agents of the owner of

the system, or members of the families of employees or agents of the owner of the system. The owner shall ensure that no

drinking-water is supplied to a user of water until samples have been taken and tested and the results of the tests have been

received by the owner and the operating authority.

Applies to: Small municipal residential systems, large municipal non-residential systems, non-municipal year-round

residential systems, large non-municipal non-residential systems. Also to: small municipal non-residential systems, non-

municipal seasonal residential systems and small non-municipal non-residential systems. As per Schedule 11 and 12 of the

Describe your Drinking-Water System

Markham distribution system is an extension of Toronto and York Region distribution

systems. Raw surface water from Lake Ontario is disinfected, treated and tested by

Toronto system for microbiological, organic and inorganic parameters prior to

reaching York Region distribution system. York Region distribution system acts as a

wholesale distribution system to Markham, and provides standard distribution testing

in their south distribution system only (refer to York Region Annual Report for

details). York Region distribution system also provides storage and pressure boosting

for Markham system.

Markham is a distribution system only without pumping and storage facilities.

Markham’s drinking water within the distribution system is tested for standard

parameters.
