• Water conservation and efficiency performance measures and benchmarks within the municipal sector - An identification of current practices and an assessment of the feasibility of
  expanding their use. This report was prepared by CWWA for the Ministry of Environment of Ontario, based on research and survey results.A workshop of practitioners will be held on February 9, 2009 to discuss and review the findings of the report, and it is expected that either modifications to the report will be made or an addendum will be created reporting on the outcome of the Worshop.
• Clean Water, Green Jobs: A Stimulus Package for Sustainable Water Infrastructure Investments - In response to the Government of Canada currently discussing possibly expanding infrastructure investments to stimulate the economy, the Canadian Water and Wastewater Association, along with the Forum for Leadership on Water (FLOW), the University of Victoria's POLIS project on Ecological Governance and the Alliance for Water Efficiency, has proposed a sustainable water infrastructure plan entitled, Clean Water, Green Jobs: A Stimulus Package for Sustainable Water Infrastructure Investments to the Federal Government. The plan contains solutions that can be deployed quickly and broadly, creating jobs and stimulating the economy faster than traditional infrastructure projects. It recommends investments be made in repairing and upgrading existing infrastructure, restoring green infrastructure, and conserving water and energy. Upon submitting the plan, the authors have requested the opportunity to meet key MPs from all parties to discuss how investing in sustainable water infrastructure can create jobs, save money and protect the environment.

Results - CWWA FOG Management Survey (December 2, 2008)

Canadian Guidance Document for Managing Drinking Water Systems -A Risk Assessment / Risk Management Approach - The document is intended to outline a simple protocol, based on HACCP and other risk assessment / risk management approaches for managers of all drinking water systems to follow. It can be used in conjunction with existing formalized management processes (HACCP, ISO, Water Safety Plans, etc.) that address large complex systems, or equally, can be applied to small systems or one aspect or feature of any drinking water system.

CHLORINE AUDIT TEMPLATE - for use by municipalities required to comply with the: Notice Requiring the Preparation and Implementation of Pollution Prevention Plans for Inorganic Chloramines and Chlorinated Wastewater Effluents under CEPA, 1999
this document has been developed with input from the CWWA Wastewater and Stormwater Committee and can now be used as general guidance, it will be revised as Environment Canada expands on the Pollution Prevention planning requirements
