Worth a closer look

Recent public records include a few items that deserve attention.

How to read these numbers
  • Conviction matches. Matching is by name only. Read the detailed records before treating this as a conclusion about this system.
  • Over-limit tests. That is a regulatory flag in the public record. A count alone does not say how long a result lasted, whether it was retested, or that every tap in the building was affected. Open the detailed records for timing and context.

Worth knowing day to day

Hardness, sodium, and similar day-to-day readings are missing for Vaughan Distribution System because it did not join the provincial monitoring program that produces these cards — so there is no data to show.

What's behind these numbers

Years covered: 2024-25, 2023-24, 2022-23, 2021-22.

What the numbers refer to

Over-limit tests

Regulatory flags when a monitored result was above an Ontario standard. A count alone does not say how long a result lasted or that every tap was affected.

116 over-limit tests in recent records.

  • 16,008 recent test results processed.
  • Parameters involved: Escherichia Coli, Lead, Total coliform.

Incident records

Incident records are required system filings — not a count of taps affected, and not automatically a drinking-water emergency.

  • 146 incident records in public records — not a count of taps affected.

Conviction matches

Matching is by name only. Read the detailed record before treating this as a conclusion about this system.

  • Matched conviction records: 1.
  • Conviction matches use exact name matching only; an absence here means no matched conviction record in the recent local summary data, not a proven absence of any conviction.
Other public-record context

Inspection history

Provincial inspection scores have generally been high in the years available.

  • MRS inspection ratings in recent years: 100.0%, 100.0%, 100.0%, 100.0%.
  • Inspection ratings come from the MRS Inspection Rating Water Quality table.
  • Other recent records include: 116 over-limit tests and 146 incident records.
  • Inspection ratings summarize provincial inspections, not every individual test.
