The Drinking Water Works Permit requires one (1) duty and one (1) standby Sodium Hypochlorite chemical feed pumps. Standby equipment is considered to be equipment that can be made duty by the manual act of switching over (flipping an on/off switch) or an automatic switch over of equipment initiated by a signal from a monitoring system. The owner/operating authority shall ensure the following equipment is properly connected upon completion of the planned equipment upgrades in 2017 to the drinking water system. Records indicated that the treatment equipment was operated in a manner that achieved the design capabilities required under Ontario Regulation 170/03 or a Drinking Water Works Permit and/or Municipal Drinking Water Licence issued under Part V of the SDWA at all times that water was being supplied to consumers. The Sebringville Drinking Water System utilizes UV for primary disinfection, and sodium hypochlorite for secondary disinfection of the groundwater supply. A review of the data provided by the operating authority indicates that the UV disinfection units and sodium hypochlorite injection system is operated in a manner that achieves disinfection requirements. Records confirmed that the water treatment equipment which provides chlorination or chloramination for secondary disinfection purposes was operated so that at all times and all locations in the distribution system the chlorine residual was never less than 0.05 mg/l free or 0.25 mg/l combined. Documentation provided by the operating authority indicates that during the inspection period the free chlorine residuals were greater than 0.05 mg/l in the distribution system. The primary disinfection equipment was equipped with alarms or shut-off mechanisms that satisfied the standards described in Section 1-6 (1) of Schedule 1 of Ontario Regulation 170/03. The Sebringville Drinking Water System uses three (3) Hallett 30 UV Pure to achieve primary disinfection. Each Hallett 30 UV Pure is equipped with an automatic shut-off valve that will cease the flow of water into the distribution system if the UV units malfunction, loses power or is not providing a disinfection dose of 40 mj/cm2. The UV units are also equipped with an auto-dialer alarm system that contacts the operator on call to notify them of the issue. Report Generated for kellyty on 22/08/2017 (dd/mm/yyyy) Page 6 of 22

10 Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change Treatment Processes The owner did not have evidence indicating that all chemicals and materials that come in contact with water within the drinking water system met the AWWA and ANSI standards in accordance with the Municipal Drinking Water Licence and Drinking Water Works Permit issued under Part V of the SDWA. Section 2.3 in Schedule B of the Drinking Water Works Permit # issue number: 2, dated April 21, 2016 states the operating authority shall ensure disinfection of equipment which comes in contact with water. The equipment shall be disinfected before being put into service in accordance with a procedure approved by the Director or in accordance with the applicable provisions of the following documents: a) The ministry's Watermain Disinfection Procedure, effective September 1, 2016; b) AWWA C652 Standard for Disinfection of Water-Storage Facilities; c) AWWA C653 Standard for Disinfection of Water Treatment Plants; and d) AWWA C654 Standard for Disinfection of Wells. On January 10, 2017, the operating authority installed a new pressure tank at the Sebringville Drinking Water System. Documentation provided by the operating authority indicates that the new pressure tank was not disinfected following AWWA C652 prior to being put into service. Documentation provided states that the tank fittings were spray disinfected using a 50 PPM chlorine solution, and tested with chlorine residual test strips. Prior to putting the pressure tank into service, no bacteriological testing was completed. AWWA C652 Standard for Disinfection of Water-Storage Facilities states the following three chlorination methods are to be used to properly disinfect water-storage facilities: Section Chlorination Method 1 states: "The water-storage facility shall be filled to the overflow level with potable water to which enough chlorine shall be added to provide a free chlorine residual in the full facility of not less than 10 mg/l at the end of the appropriate 6-hr or 24-hr period, as described in Sec The chlorine, either as calcium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite, or liquid chlorine, shall be introduced into the water as described in the following subsections." Section Chlorination Method 2 states: "A solution of at least 200 mg/l available chlorine shall be applied directly to the surfaces of parts of the storage facility that would be in contact with water when the storage facility is full to the overflow elevation." Section Chlorination Method 3 states: "Water and chlorine shall be added to the storage facility in amounts such that the solution will initially contain at least 50 mg/l available chlorine and will fill approximately 5 percent of the total storage volume. The solution shall be held in the storage facility for a period of not less than 6 hr. The storage facility shall then be filled to the overflow level by flowing potable water into the highly chlorinated water. It shall be half full for a period of not less than 24 hr. Highly chlorinated water shall then be purged from the drain piping." Following one of these procedures is subject to satisfactory bacteriological testing, appropriate chlorine residual, and acceptable aesthetic water quality, the water may be delivered to the distribution system. All chemicals used at the Sebringville Drinking Water System met AWWA and ANSI standards for drinking water treatment. Up-to-date plans for the drinking-water system were kept in a place, or made available in such a manner, that they could be readily viewed by all persons responsible for all or part of the operation of the drinking water system in accordance with the Drinking Water Works Permit and Municipal Drinking Water Licence Report Generated for kellyty on 22/08/2017 (dd/mm/yyyy) Page 7 of 22

29 Ministry of the Environment Drinking Water System Appendix B Inspection Risk Methodology and Inspection Rating Record

30 April 2012 APPLICATION OF THE RISK METHODOLOGY USED FOR MEASURING MUNICIPAL RESIDENTIAL DRINKING WATER SYSTEM INSPECTION RESULTS The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) has a rigorous and comprehensive inspection program for municipal residential drinking water systems (MRDWS). Its objective is to determine the compliance of MRDWS with requirements under the Safe Drinking Water Act and associated regulations. It is the responsibility of the municipal residential drinking water system owner to ensure their drinking water systems are in compliance with all applicable legal requirements. This document describes the risk rating methodology, which has been applied to the findings of the Ministry s MRDWS inspection results since fiscal ontario.ca/drinkingwater PIBS 6797e year The primary goals of this assessment are to encourage ongoing improvement of these systems and to establish a way to measure this progress. MOE reviews the risk rating methodology every three years. The Ministry s Municipal Residential Drinking Water Inspection Protocol contains up to 14 inspection modules and consists of approximately 120 regulatory questions. Those protocol questions are also linked to definitive guidance that ministry inspectors use when conducting MRDWS inspections.
