Ontario Drinking Water Quality Standards (Reg. 169/03)
Comprehensive Analysis of Various Chemical Constituents and Suspended Particulates in Water
Potable water testing is a broader concept focused on evaluating water suitability for human consumption, covering parameters such as microbiological contaminants, chemical pollutants, and physical characteristics. It encompasses a range of water sources, including tap water, well water, and bottled water, aiming to ensure that the water is safe and meets established health standards.
Water testing under the Ontario Drinking Water Standards specifically refers to the regulatory framework established by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks to monitor and manage drinking water quality. This regulation sets out specific standards and requirements for the testing of drinking water to safeguard public health, emphasizing parameters like bacteriological quality, chemical composition, and disinfection by-products in accordance with provincial guidelines.
While potable water testing is a broader term applicable globally, water testing under the Ontario Drinking Water Standards is specific to the regulatory framework governing drinking water quality in the province of Ontario, Canada.
In the province of Ontario, the Drinking-Water Quality Standards are governed by Regulation 169/03, a comprehensive set of guidelines aimed at ensuring the provision of safe and clean drinking water to the residents.
