Why Potable Water Reservoir Inspections Matter
Over time, all potable water storage facilities accumulate sediment, scale, and biofilm. These deposits can deteriorate infrastructure and compromise water quality, leading to disinfection challenges, public health risks, and costly repairs.
To prevent this, the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and public health authorities recommend inspections every 3 to 5 years. Our inspections comply with CSA Z317.1 and AWWA C652-19, ensuring your facility meets provincial and federal guidelines.
