A report from Manitoba’s auditor general suggests there are problems with the management of drinking water in the province.
Tyson Shtykalo says vigilance is needed to ensure safe drinking water in Manitoba, noting that many water systems are without a certified operator — and sometimes not licensed at all.
The Auditor General’s report says about 40% of the nearly 1,200 water systems he looked at were operating without a licence.
An operating license serves to lay out requirements on water quality standards and appropriate frequency of testing.
