Section 1 Executive Summary This report is submitted to satisfy Schedule 22 of Ontario Regulation 170/03 (O.Reg. 170/03, Schedule 22) requirement to prepare and distribute a Summary Report. According to this regulation, the Summary Report must contain the following information:
• List the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the regulations, the system’s approval and any order that the system failed to meet at any time during the period covered by the report and specify the duration of the failure;
• For each failure, describe the measures that were taken to correct the failure; • A summary of the quantities and flow rates of the water supplied during the period
covered by the report, including monthly average and maximum daily flows, and daily instantaneous peak flow rates; and
• A comparison of the actual flows to the rated capacity and flow rates approved in the system’s approval.
As well, this report is submitted to satisfy the Section 11 of Ontario Regulation 170/03 (O. Reg. 170/0, S. 11) requirement to prepare and distribute an Annual Report. According to this regulation, the Annual Report must contain the following information:
• A brief description of the water system; • A list of water treatment chemicals used; • A summary of the most recent water test results required under O. Reg. 170/03 or
an approval; • A summary of adverse test results and other issues including corrective actions
taken; and • A description of major expenses incurred to install, repair or replace equipment.
This report is prepared and submitted for both the City of Guelph Water System and the Gazer/Mooney distribution system as both systems are currently operated and maintained by the City of Guelph Waterworks Division of the Environmental Services Department.
Section 2 of this report contains a brief description of the drinking water systems. In 2007, all water was treated consistent with Ontario Ministry of the Environment (MOE) standards using approved treatment chemicals – specifically sodium hypochlorite and sodium silicate. To meet legislative requirements, water from the Emma well, Water St. Well, and water passing through F.M. Woods Pumping Station was also disinfected with ultra-violet light (UV) treatment in 2006 and 2007. In 2007, over 18,800 microbiological and chemical quality tests were performed on treated water supplied by Guelph Waterworks. All samples were collected by certified Waterworks operators following industry standard and Ministry of the Environment (MOE) protocols. Analyses were performed by these same operators and by accredited independent laboratories on water samples collected throughout the water system (supply and distribution).
11
In 2007, all water supplied to consumers met or bettered all health-related Ontario Drinking Water Standards. Of the 8,683 treated water bacteriological analyses performed on treated water, one test or 0.012 percent indicated the presence of adverse indicator bacteria (see Table I). When re-sampled, the results did not confirm any water quality deterioration. At no time was E. coli detected in the systems’ drinking water. Of the 10,148 chemical analyses performed, one sample showed reportable levels of sodium that were confirmed through resampling to be below the Aesthetic guideline (see Table I). One sample showed a value of lead in the distribution system above the guideline, but resampling did not confirm this result. In total, zero percent of samples confirmed the presence of chemicals above regulatory health guidelines. In 2007, Waterworks operated and maintained the water supply and distribution system in such a manner that water supplied to all consumers serviced by the system met the requirements of the Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002. All operation and maintenance duties were performed by certified, adequately trained operators. In 2007, operation and major maintenance of the water supply and distribution system was accomplished with $6.6 million in funding from the operating budget and $11 million in capital funding. In 2007, Waterworks complied with the requirements of the Consolidated Certificate of Approval. All water supplied to customers met or exceeded regulatory standards. Upgrades at the Water Street Well and Woods Station were completed in 2007 to comply with new Provincial standards for disinfection of drinking water. In 2007, Waterworks had no instances of non-compliance with Ministry of the Environment regulations regarding drinking water. Copies of the Provincial Regulation 170/03 Annual and Summary Report for the Period January 1 to December 31, 2007 can be obtained at the following locations:
• Woods Station, 29 Waterworks Place (519-837-5627); • The main branch of the Guelph Public Library; • City Clerk’s Office, City Hall, 59 Carden Street and • Electronically on the City’s website, www.guelph.ca/waterworks.

Section 2 Introduction The mission of the City of Guelph Waterworks Division is to provide customers and the community with valued service through responsible water resource management. Waterworks provides and promotes reliable, cost effective systems for the safe production and delivery of consistently high quality water. Guelph Waterworks is a municipally owned and operated water utility first established in 1879. The source of Guelph’s drinking water is a series of 19 groundwater wells and a shallow groundwater collector system. Guelph’s water supply and distribution system is comprised of the following infrastructure:
o 6 kilometres of 1,067 mm diameter water supply aqueduct; o 5 underground storage reservoirs with a combined capacity of 48,000 cubic metres; o 3 water towers with a combined capacity of 11,300 cubic metres; o 600 kilometres of buried water main ranging in diameter from 100 mm to 900 mm; o Approximately 3,600 watermain valves; o Approximately 2,400 fire hydrants; and o Approximately 36,500 water services and water meters.
This distribution infrastructure (including water mains, valves, fire hydrants, services, and meters) includes the Gazer/Mooney distribution system. The replacement cost of the entire system is estimated to be $327 million (un-inflated) or approximately $3,000 per capita. The 2007 Operating Budget contained expenditures totalling $14.5 million. All Waterworks operations and capital projects are funded directly from the sale of water. In 2007, a total of 18.6 million cubic metres of water was pumped and treated. Lost water totalled approximately 11.87 percent of all water pumped. The average daily water demand was 51,005 cubic metres. The highest daily use of water occurred on June 26 when 63,652 cubic metres of water was pumped. This is 3.57 percent higher than the maximum pumpage day of 2006. In 2007, over 18,800 treated water microbiological and chemical quality tests were performed by certified operators and accredited, licensed laboratories on water samples collected throughout the water system. In all cases, the drinking water supplied to all customers was considered safe and was demonstrated to be better than all Ontario and Canadian health-related guidelines. Regulatory Changes In response to an outbreak of Escherichia (E. coli):O157 in Walkerton, the Ontario Provincial Ministry of the Environment (MOE) announced Operation Clean Water and enacted the Safe Drinking Water Act (the Act) in 2002. The Act prescribes strict, mandatory requirements for
15
testing and treatment of all municipal drinking water, and actions necessary when standards are not met. The regulation also identifies accountability for drinking water safety and supports the consumer’s right to timely and accurate reporting of water quality information. The Act has impacted Guelph Waterworks and its customers in the following ways:
o Previously, Waterworks relied on regular bacteriological testing to determine the chlorine levels required for disinfection of our various groundwater supplies. Minimum, prescribed levels of chlorine must now be added to all water supplies and maintained in all water distributed to customers. Customers have noticed and commented on the increased chlorine taste and odour in Guelph’s water. Waterworks is working with the Ministry of the Environment to minimize chlorine use.
o The additional chlorine in Guelph’s water is reacting with natural iron and manganese in
the groundwater to create more frequent episodes of discoloured water for customers. Waterworks has increased watermain cleaning activities to limit these incidents and is planning water treatment upgrades to remove these minerals from our well supplies.
o Additional sampling and testing, and the generation of both this Summary Report and an
Annual Report are required by the legislation.
o All water systems must follow minimum disinfection standards. This involves upgrades to system infrastructure including chemical systems, control and monitoring systems, and storage reservoirs.
o System upgrades have resulted in decreased system capacity in the short term as
existing supplies undergo treatment upgrades to comply with new legislation.
o Schedule 22 and Section 11 of Regulation 170/03 requires Waterworks to produce and distribute this annual Summary Report. Copies will be available for customers at Woods Station at 29 Waterworks Place, at the main branch of the Guelph Public Library and also at the City Clerk’s office in City Hall, 59 Carden Street. An electronic copy of the report will also be available on the City’s web site at www.guelph.ca/waterworks.
o Regulation 170/03 was amended in 2007 to include mandatory lead testing within the
City of Guelph. The requirements of the amendment are reflected in section 15.1 and 15.2 of the regulations. The result is that the City of Guelph must take a minimum of 250 additional water quality samples
Water rates have been increased significantly to pay for these activities and upgrades with the goal of providing a more secure water supply. On October 30, 2007 the MOE issued Guelph’s latest Consolidated Certificate of Approval (CC of A). The CC of A acts as a license for water supply and distribution operations and sets out a schedule of mandatory facility upgrades to comply with the Act. Currently one remaining water supply facility requires major disinfection and treatment upgrades.
16
The Guelph water system is currently licensed as a MOE Class IV Water Distribution and Supply Sub-System. In 2007, 31 water operators and staff were licensed to operate and maintain the water system. Figure A shows the locations of water supply facilities that were active in 2007. Figure B shows the location of the Gazer/Mooney distribution system.

Section 3 Water Treatment Summary This section describes the type and amount of drinking water treatment chemicals used in 2007. In 2007, chlorine in the form of a 12 percent sodium hypochlorite solution was added to disinfect all water supplied to consumers. Liquid sodium silicate was also added to all water supplied from the Helmar and Queensdale wells to control high levels of naturally occurring iron and manganese. Through the act of sequestration, sodium silicate prevents this iron and manganese from precipitating when the water is treated and thereby prevents discoloured water. In 2007, there were no periods of abnormal use of sodium hypochlorite or sodium silicate. Tables A and B below summarize sodium hypochlorite and sodium silicate use at each supply facility in 2007.

Section 4 Summary of Water Test Results This section summarizes water quality test results required by the Ontario Drinking-Water System Regulation 170/03 for the period January to December 2007. In 2007, all water supplied to consumers met or bettered all health-related Ontario Drinking Water Standards. Of the 8,683 bacteriological analyses performed on treated water, one test or 0.01 percent indicated the presence of adverse indicators (see Table I). When resampled the results did not confirm water quality deterioration. At no time was E. coli detected in Guelph’s drinking water. Of the 10,148 chemical analyses performed on treated water, zero samples confirmed the presence of chemicals above regulatory health guidelines. The following Tables C1 through H2 provide a summary of 2007 laboratory and process parameter results. In general, Guelph water supply water quality test results also pertain to the water provided to the Gazer/Mooney water distribution system. A confirmed adverse sample consists of two consecutive samples where both results are consistent and demonstrate non-compliance with a legislative water quality guideline. Adverse sample results are always confirmed because of the potential for false positive results inherent in any water sampling program.

Section 5 Summary of Adverse Test Results and Corrective Actions This section summarizes adverse water quality test results and incidents, and corresponding corrective actions taken for the period January to December 2007. Schedule 15.1 and 16 of the Drinking-Water Systems Regulation 170/03 prescribes the reporting procedures that must be followed when adverse water quality is observed or detected during routine testing. Waterworks contract laboratories must notify the MOE, the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Public Health (WDGPH), and the Waterworks Supervisor of the adverse result by phone. The Waterworks Supervisor must then again notify both by phone and in writing, the MOE and WDGPH of the adverse result and the conditions of operation at the time of sampling. If applicable, the Supervisor will then implement corrective actions such as resampling, increasing the chlorine dose, isolating a source, or flushing the system. Waterworks must then report the results of the corrective actions taken to both the MOE and WDGPH within seven days of the issue resolution. When an adverse bacteriological or chemical result is detected, the first “corrective” action required under Schedule 17 of Regulation 170/03 is the resampling and testing of the source with the adverse result. It is the nature of both microbiological and chemical analysis to occasionally have false-positive results. If additional confirmatory adverse results are not detected, then routine monitoring resumes. In 2007 a total of three sample results were classified as adverse according to legislation or Waterworks policy (see Table I):
• One sample indicated sodium above the lower reporting guideline of 20mg/L; • One sample initially indicated Total Coliform above the regulatory guideline (follow up
sampling DID NOT confirm the presence of Total Coliform bacteria above the regulatory guideline); and
• One sample for lead in the distribution system indicated a value for lead above 0.010 mg/L (max = 0.010). Subsequent resampling vales did not confirm the initial result.
The confirmatory resample results for Total Coliform were within regulatory guidelines. More detailed information on adverse results is provided in the following Table I.

Section 6 Summary of Maintenance This section summarizes the 2007 major operating and capital expenses incurred to maintain the water supply and distribution system. The Waterworks Division of the Environmental Services Department is responsible for the supply and distribution of potable water to the citizens of Guelph. Water quality objectives established by the MOE are achieved through a combination of groundwater protection initiatives, disinfection of water from 19 groundwater wells and the maintenance of a distribution network consisting of almost 600 km of watermain. All Waterworks revenue is derived directly from the sale of water to customers. The water programs and services described below contribute to the Waterworks and Wastewater vision:
“We will be a recognized leader in municipal water management, moving forward consistently at the forefront of our industry and setting a standard for others to follow.”
Regulatory Compliance In February 2002, the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) issued a Consolidated Certificate of Approval (CC of A) to Waterworks based on the findings of the 2001 Engineers Report. The CC of A outlines the following requirements that have direct budgetary impact: A) Completion of Disinfection Upgrades by June 2007 Disinfection upgrades to the City’s water supply system have been substantially completed with the final Carter well facility scheduled to be completed in early 2008. Funding for these upgrades is split equally between the municipality, province and federal government with the City portion forecast at approximately $6 million. B) Completion of Groundwater Under the Direct Influence of Surface Water (GUDI) Compliance Treatment Study and Potential Treatment Upgrades In July of 2002, the City completed and submitted for MOE review a GUDI study of five water sources. In August 2006, a revised CC of A was received listing additional treatment upgrades and a compliance schedule. The upgrades have been substantially completed in 2007. Staff anticipates these upgrades cost an additional $16 million and have received Provincial and Federal support for a portion of this cost.
43
Sustaining Infrastructure The Waterworks mission supports sustaining infrastructure to ensure reliable service. Over 80 percent of the water system is underground. In 2007, approximately $250,000 was spent on watermain re-lining. Operating Budget Highlights In 2007, Waterworks budgeted $3.1 million and $3.5 million to operate and maintain the water distribution and supply systems respectively. The following maintenance activities were funded by the Waterworks Operating budget in 2007:
• Repair of 57 watermain breaks; • Addition of 7 kilometres of new watermain • Replacement of 25 valves • Addition of 106 watermain valves; • Repair of 14 fire hydrants; • Addition of 83 hydrants • Addition of 906 new services • Removal of 2 services • Replacement of 1,122 water meters, installation of 906 new water meters and removal of
9 water meters from demolished properties; • Replacement or major repair of two Water Supply pumps and four Booster Station
pumps and • F.M. Woods Station Disinfection Upgrade • Arkell Aqueduct Upgrade • Water Street Disinfection Upgrade • Paisley Booster Station Refurbishment; and • Flushing and swabbing 117 kilometres of watermain.
44
Section 7 Compliance with Terms and Conditions of the Consolidated Certificate of Approval In 2007, Waterworks operated under three Consolidated Certificates of Approval (CC of A). CC of A 9434-6QRKDB (August 24, 2006), 9105-73RGSM (July 27, 2007), and 8929-77MHN9 (October 30, 2007) A copy of the most recent CC of A is included as Appendix A of this report. In 2006, Waterworks complied with all terms and conditions of each of the CCs of A. The following section briefly summarizes Waterworks’ compliance with the main terms and conditions as listed in the various CCs of A. Certificate of Approval Part 1 – Drinking-Water System Description The first section of the CC of A describes the various parts of the drinking water system operated by the City. Certificate of Approval Part 2 – Definitions and Information This section of the CC of A provides standard MOE definitions of terms used in the CC of A. Certificate of Approval Part 3 - General In 2007, Waterworks informed contractors working on the water supply and distribution systems of the requirements of regulations and legislation related to the work being conducted. In accordance with Part 3 – General, Guelph Waterworks operated the drinking water system in accordance with the Safe Drinking-Water Act, 2002. Over 18,800 water quality tests were performed on Guelph drinking water in 2007. The results demonstrate that Guelph tap water is safe, and are summarized in tables provided in Section 4 of this report. As well, Guelph Waterworks had valid Permits to Take Water for all municipal water supplies at the rates listed in the CC of A. A copy of the CC of A was “kept in a conspicuous place so that it [was] available for reference by all persons responsible for all or part of the operation of the approved drinking-water system”. All records required by or related in accordance with the CC of A have been, and are being retained for five years in a convenient location. Waterworks continues to maintain all records
47
and information related to water quality monitoring, sampling and analyzing programs for a minimum period of five years. Certificate of Approval Part 4 – Performance In accordance with Part 4 – Performance, Guelph Waterworks ensured that distribution flows did not exceed the maximum flow rates as set out in the CC of A, Table 4.1: Rated Capacities. In accordance with Part 4.4 – Performance, Guelph Waterworks ensured that in 2007 the UV disinfection equipment operated at Emma and Water wells provided a minimum dose of 40 mJ/cm2 at all times, and 24 mJ/cm2 at F.M. Woods Station. Certificate of Approval Part 5 – Monitoring and Recording In accordance with Part 5 – Monitoring and Recording, Guelph Waterworks operated and maintained devices to measure flow rate and daily quantity of water being supplied from each source. All flow measuring devices were checked and calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. In 2007, Waterworks verified the accuracy of each flow measuring device. In 2007, Waterworks recorded total daily flows at each water supply. This information is provided in summary tables included in Appendix B of this report. In accordance with Part 5.5 – Monitoring and Recording, Guelph Waterworks collected UV performance and flow data at the frequency outlined in the CC of A. In accordance with Part 5.6 – Monitoring and Recording, Guelph Waterworks collected Arkell recharge and collector water quality data as mandated by the CC of A. Certificate of Approval Part 6 – Operations and Maintenance In accordance with Part 6 – Operations and Maintenance, Guelph Waterworks ensured that all chemicals used in the operation of the drinking water system met all applicable standards set by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) safety criteria standards NSF/60 and NSF/61. With regard to new stock, materials and infrastructure, Waterworks ensures that all new equipment, materials and chemicals comply with the AWWA and ANSI standards. As well, an up-to date operations manual including all information required by the CC of A was maintained and available for reference by all persons responsible for all or part of the operation
48
of the approved drinking-water system. As part of the operations manual, Waterworks is required to maintain documentation and procedures for responding to customer complaints. In 2007, Waterworks maintained procedures for receiving, responding to, and documenting customer complaints. Staff received customer complaints and entered relevant information into the complaints database. This database allowed management to track and resolve issues and review trends in complaint information. In 2007, a total of 275 complaints were recorded in the complaints database. The majority of these complaints were related to discoloured water caused by disruption of sediment in water mains. The following Table J summarizes the types of complaints received in 2006. “Other” refers to customer inquires related to health concerns, water meters and general information requests.
TABLE J - 2006 Customer Water Quality Complaints Summary Number Complaint Type Complaint Group

275 Request for Shut Offs and Turn Ons, Inquiries, Other Miscellaneous Additionally, up-to-date Process and Instrumentation Diagrams and as-constructed drawings for the drinking water system were kept on site at each drinking water facility. In 2007, Waterworks continued to follow written standard operating procedures for the notification of both the MOE and local health unit in the event of adverse water quality as defined by the Drinking Water Systems regulation. Further, Waterworks continued to develop the Waterworks Emergency Plan to support the overall City of Guelph Emergency Plan. Staff training was provided on standard operating procedures related to incident and emergency response. As well, Waterworks ensured the availability of adequate equipment and materials to assist with incident and emergency response. Certificate of Approval Part 7 – Future Alterations In 2007, there were no applicable terms and references included in Part 7 – Future Alterations
49
Certificate of Approval Part 8 – Studies and Upgrades Required As required by condition 8.3 of the current CC of A, the installation of enhanced disinfection upgrades for the Carter Wells and Arkell Glen collector system was commenced in 2004. These upgrades are scheduled for completion by in 2008. As required by condition 8.4 of the current CC of A, the chlorine contact upgrades required at the Water Street Well was completed by March 31, 2007. As required by condition 8.5 (i) of the previous CC of A, the installation of backflow prevention devices on reservoir overflows was completed in October 2004. Re-chlorination system upgrades at Paisley Pumping Station and Robertson Booster Pumping Station were completed in October and November 2004 respectively. The control system facility upgrades have been completed by the mandatory deadline (December 31, 2006) to provide minimum functionality. The installation of further enhancements to the system is ongoing. The correcting of deficiencies with the Arkell Glenn Collectors is scheduled to be completed after the installation of the Arkell Glenn Collectors flow diversion chamber. The flow diversion chamber is being constructed as part of the enhanced disinfection upgrade of the Arkell Glenn Collectors and should be completed by the end of 2007. The interim measures listed in conditions 8.6 and 8.6.1 of the current CC of A to ensure enhanced disinfection at Burke, Downey Wells and at the Arkell Glenn Collectors and Carter Wells were maintained in 2007.

SECTION 8 NON-COMPLIANCE WITH TERMS
AND CONDITIONS OF THE CONSOLIDATED CERTIFICATE OF APPROVAL AND REGULATIONS
51
Section 8 Non-Compliance with Terms and Conditions of the Certificate of Approval and Regulations This section of the Summary Report consists of a short description of issues of non-compliance with the terms and conditions as listed in the CC of A and with applicable provincial regulations. In 2007 there were no instances in which Waterworks operations were conducted in non-compliance with the terms and conditions listed in the CC of A. The promulgation of the Ontario “Drinking Water Protection Regulation 459/00” in August of 2000 introduced a new standard for municipal water treatment and placed a number of Guelph Waterworks facilities in non-compliance in terms of disinfection treatment. MOE procedure B13-3 entitled “Chlorination of Potable Water Supplies in Ontario, January 2001”, requires all supply facilities to provide a prescribed minimum level of disinfection for all water supplied. Although all Waterworks facilities provide the minimum level of chlorine addition required by legislation, the following facilities currently do not comply with additional requirements of the legislation – the MOE is aware of these issues and has provided both time and funding to reach these compliance requirements:
1. Arkell Glenn collectors and Carter Well (expected compliance December 30, 2008 when
current enhanced disinfection upgrades are completed at Woods Station).
At no time in 2007 did the operation of these facilities result in the provision of untreated or unsafe water to customers. Based on regulatory requirements, and including the results of the 2007 Ministry of the Environment inspection of Guelph Waterworks, there were no instances of regulatory non- compliance related to water quality sampling and sample scheduling.
53
Section 9 Summary of Sodium Analytical Results Guelph Waterworks is required to periodically report to the Wellington-Dufferin-Guelph Health Unit (WDGHU) the sodium sampling results for all facilities. This information has been incorporated into this Summary Report in order to effectively disseminate this information to all Waterworks customers and other interested parties. The MOE requires that sodium sampling be conducted every five years for all points of entry into the water distribution system. The results of the 2007 sampling are included in Table K.
Table K - 2007 Sodium Analytical Results

Maximum allowable at any time as an aesthetic objective is 200mg/L
Note: Sodium values are reportable every five years when values are above 20mg/L. Reporting times to the Ministry of the Environment varies from location to location based on the time of the last report and the value of sodium in the source water. Sodium is measured for operational purposes on an annual frequency at all sources – as per above values above 20mg/L do not necessarily require reporting.

Section 10 Summary of Quantity of Water Supplied In 2007, 19 water supplies were operated to satisfy customer water demand. A total of 18,616,944 cubic metres of water was pumped to the water distribution system. This total represents a 0.743 percent decrease from the previous year’s total. A graph showing the ten year trend in total water pumpage is shown in Figure C.

* Arkell wells 6, 7, and 8 operate under a wellfield permit therefore each well can pump up to the combined rate. ** Recharge Pump has a different rate depending on the time of year and ranges from 157.85 L/s to 552.47 L/s. *** Carter Wells have a combined permitted instantaneous flow rate of 136.38 L/s. The flow may be derived from either or both of the wells in combination subject to limitations in the CC of A – maximum instantaneous flow rates are shown for both wells because they each operated on separate occasions throughout the month and are not additive - thee PTTW instantaneous flow rate was not exceeded

As a Corrective Action the City of Guelph Waterworks is required to publish in all forms and make available an addendum in all locations where the original reports were made available.
