The Township of Ramara works with the Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) to safely and efficiently maintain our municipally owned water systems.

Annual Drinking Water Reports

Under the Ontario Drinking Water Systems regulation (O. Reg. 170/03), municipalities who maintain drinking water systems are required to prepare an annual report on the operation of the water system and the quality of its water.  Hard copies of the reports can be made available upon request, free of charge. If you have any further questions, please contact the Infrastructure Department at 705-484-5374 ext. 285

Appearance, taste and odour

If you have concerns related to the appearance, taste, or odour of your water, please contact OCWA at 705-484-5600 during regular business hours. 

Private well owners are responsible for protecting and properly maintaining their own drinking water system.

Haloacetic Acids in Drinking Water (HAAs)

Haloacetic acids (HAAs) are a group of compounds that can form when chlorine used to disinfect drinking water reacts with naturally occurring organic matter (e.g., decaying leaves and vegetation). HAA levels can vary over time when factors change, for example the temperature of the raw water, natural organic matter present in the raw water, treated water temperature and water storage levels.

Visit the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit's website to learn more about the acceptable level of HAAs in drinking water, potential concerns, how it can be reduced and more.
