Resume supplying drinking water without retyping owner and system details

Owners of small drinking water systems repeat system name, location, owner contact information, and shutdown or construction details whenever they notify the medical officer of health before operating or reopening after a shutdown longer than seven days. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

• Service page: Drinking water — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Notice to Operate or Reopen a Small Drinking Water System — 014-4579-64
