Abstract

The Health Minister may decide which substances are "contaminants" (sect. 10). Every owner of a public water supply system shall have the water tested according to the Act's Regulations (sect. 11). The Health Minister's power over the safety of private wells is limited, and the Act establishes a Potable Water Advisory Committee (sects. 12 and 13). The Minister can issue an Order to designate watersheds, aquifers or ground water used for public water supply as protected areas (sect. 14).
