Water Services Water Services: Building connections through reliable water distribution
Our dedicated team is committed to the uninterrupted distribution of safe, potable drinking water to residential, industrial, commercial and institutional properties across Vaughan. We operate in strict alignment with regulatory requirements set by the Province, ensuring the highest standards of water quality and safety for all our customers. Special Project: Pressure Regulating Valve Enhancement Vaughan’s water distribution system is organized into seven distinct pressure districts, each separated by Pressure Regulating Valves (PRVs). These valves are essential for maintaining a reliable backup water supply during high-demand situations, such as fires or watermain breaks. Our enhancement project focuses on rehabilitating critical components of the PRVs and conducting thorough functional testing to ensure their reliability and performance. By investing in these enhancements, we are reinforcing the resilience of our water distribution system, safeguarding the community’s access to safe drinking water during emergencies.
