Ontario Water Plan: Protecting Water From Source To Tap

Clean water is essential to the quality of life that Ontarians enjoy. The McGuinty government is on the side of Ontario families, protecting their health and economic prosperity.

The Ontario government has a plan to safeguard the province’s rich water resources and ensure the delivery of safe, clean, affordable water to people in every community. This plan will help us meet the recommendations of the Walkerton Inquiry and protect the health of Ontarians while supporting sustainable economic activity and development.
