Notice of intent to amend the Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations
This notice of intent is to inform interested parties that Environment and Climate Change Canada is initiating the development of proposed regulatory amendments to the Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations made under subsection 36(5) and paragraphs 43(1)(g.1), (g.2) and (h) of the Fisheries Act. The purpose of the amendments would be to provide a new opportunity for owners of wastewater systems to receive a transitional authorization (section 24). These amendments would apply to wastewater systems that would be eligible to receive a transitional authorization to the end of 2030 or 2040.
Objective
The Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations set national effluent quality standards that came into force in 2015. The Regulations allowed owners of wastewater systems, often communities, to apply for an extension (transitional authorization) beyond 2015 to meet the effluent quality standards if their existing infrastructure was not designed to meet these standards. Wastewater system owners had until June 2014 to apply.
Transitional authorizations allow communities more time to plan and finance upgrades to wastewater treatment plants, recognizing that constructing and upgrading the systems takes significant time to plan and finance. The duration of a transitional authorization is to the end of 2020, 2030, or 2040, based on the level of risk associated with a wastewater system (as defined in the Regulations). The risk criteria include consideration of effluent quality, volume, and receiving environment.
The proposal is to amend the Regulations to make transitional authorizations that will expire at the end of 2030 or 2040 available for owners of wastewater systems that do not currently have one and are eligible. The proposal will be based on the existing eligibility criteria of the Regulations and the existing system of points in Schedule 2, and where applicable, Schedule 3.
Any deposits that are not authorized under the Regulations remain subject to the general prohibition in subsection 36(3) of the Fisheries Act.
Background
The Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations came into force in 2012. National effluent quality standards, achievable through a secondary level of treatment, came into effect in 2015.
The Regulations provide an authorization under the Fisheries Act to release effluent into water, as set out in the Regulations, for communities who are in compliance with the regulatory requirements. Communities not in compliance with the Regulations are subject to the general prohibition of the Fisheries Act, and potential enforcement actions.
The Regulations apply to any wastewater system that is designed to collect an average daily volume of 100 m3 or more (which is equivalent to a community of approximately 250 people).
The Regulations do not apply
- in the Northwest Territories, in Nunavut, and north of the 54th parallel in Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador, due to the challenges of implementing standard treatment in the Far North; and
- in Yukon and Quebec, as there are equivalency agreements in place for these jurisdictions.
Next steps
Environment and Climate Change Canada will be consulting interested parties on this proposal throughout 2020.
The proposed amendments are intended to be published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, in the fall of 2021. There will be a comment period following the publication, during which interested parties will have an opportunity to provide feedback.

Guidance on the use of Enterococci as an Indicator in Canadian Drinking Water Supplies
Pursuant to subsection 55(3) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the Minister of Health hereby gives notice of the Final Drinking Water Guidance on Enterococci as an Indicator in Canadian Drinking Water Supplies. This guidance document is available on the Water Quality website. This document underwent a public consultation period of 60 days in 2019 and was updated to take into consideration the comments received.

On behalf of the Minister of Health
ANNEX
Executive summary
Enterococci are a bacteriological indicator of fecal contamination. Their presence in drinking water indicates that fecal pathogens may be present, which can pose a health risk to consumers. Enterococci can be included in a program to monitor drinking water to provide information on the quality of the source water, the adequacy of treatment and the delivery of safe drinking water to the consumer.
Health Canada completed its review of enterococci in drinking water. This guidance document was prepared in collaboration with the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Committee on Drinking Water. The document describes the significance, sampling and treatment considerations for the use of enterococci as a bacteriological indicator in the context of drinking water quality and safety.
Assessment
Under a source-to-tap approach to providing high quality drinking water, enterococci are a complementary indicator of fecal contamination. For jurisdictions considering monitoring in addition to the regulatory requirements, this parameter can supplement existing E. coli and total coliforms monitoring programs, to afford a better understanding of microbiological water quality and inform decision making. An important advantage of enterococci is that they are somewhat more resistant to environmental stresses and drinking water disinfectants than E. coli, although both are readily inactivated by drinking water disinfection. Enterococci may persist longer than E. coli in some water environments. They are therefore useful as a bacterial indicator to provide additional insight into fecal contamination issues in systems suspected of being susceptible to fecal contamination — such as non-disinfected ground water sources and distribution systems — but where E. coli has not been found or is infrequently detected. The intent of this document is to provide stakeholders, such as provincial and territorial regulatory authorities, decision makers, water system owners, laboratories and consultants, with guidance on how enterococci can be used in a program to monitor drinking water with the objectives of identifying and minimizing microbiological risks in Canadian water systems.
International considerations
Drinking water quality guidelines, standards and/or guidance established by foreign governments or international agencies may vary due to the science available at the time of assessment, as well as the use of different policies and approaches. Enterococci are widely used for assessing water quality in many parts of the world, but are not used as frequently as other indicators, such as E. coli. The World Health Organization and the Australian drinking water authority indicate that enterococci can be used to assess source, treated and distributed water quality, but have not established drinking water guideline values. The European Union’s Drinking Water Directive includes enterococci as an audit parameter for monitoring in drinking water distribution systems with a standard of zero enterococci per 100 mL of water, and testing requirements that are less frequent than routine monitoring parameters.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency has not established a drinking water guideline value for enterococci. The Ground Water Rule includes enterococci alongside E. coli and coliphages as options when testing for indicators of fecal contamination when total coliforms are detected in untreated ground water systems.
