Residents of Drayton and Moorefield can take comfort in the latest reports on the quality of their drinking water.
Public works director Brad McRoberts advised council at the Dec. 9 meeting that Ministry of Environment and Climate Change reports on both systems came back without a single non-compliance issue recorded.
“This is a good News story. We got 100 per cent for both water systems,” McRoberts told council.
“So with this report you would say that our drinking water is safe?” asked Mayor Neil Driscoll.
“Absolutely,” McRoberts replied.
Driscoll said receiving a perfect report is impressive because, “they can pick the smallest thing out of their report and make you look like you have bad water.”
The ministry conducted annual inspections on municipal water systems in Mapleton in September.
There are 1,800 residents connected to the Drayton system, while the Moorefield system supplies water to 550 people.
