A fairly clean bill of health for the Dryden Water Department.
A recent Ministry of Environment inspection of the City drinking water system resulted in seven non-compliance issues.
Staff say all of the violations were minor and have been addressed.
Some of the notices were for delays in applying for a Permit to take Water as well as reporting data.
There were also some delays in testing.
The City says a focused inspection was done because findings over the past three years were such that the number of violations were minimal or non-existent.
The inspection found the City is taking a lot less water than its maximum amount permitted.
There’s also no major problems facing the Dryden Waste-Water Treatment Plant, with seven notices of non-compliance.
Staff reiterate all of the issues were fairly minor and dealt with.
Some of the issues were when an outside contractor had control of the new plant.
The City says regular maintenance and monitoring activities have now been developed.
The other big issue is the decommissioning of the old plant.
Staff say they will have to look at it in the next capital budget and will be working closely with the MOE.
