Municipal staff informed council members that a recent audit found a single case of non-compliance in the system.
They clarified that there are hundreds of monitors in the filtration system, each has an instrument that measures turbidity, which is the haziness or cloudiness of the water and a single measuring instrument was discovered to have failed without setting off an alarm.
Staff discovered the issue and remedied it upon discovery.
The filter in question remained intact and continued to filter the water, while a backup instrument continued to send data.
The Town works with the Ontario Clean Water Agency to conduct annual audits of the drinking water filtration system.
