The Provincial Government is inviting input from stakeholders and the public on the development of a Drinking Water Safety Action Plan to ensure that all residents have access to safe and clean drinking water in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Beginning today until December 10, 2021, feedback can be provided during this virtual consultation process at engageNL.ca. This will include an online questionnaire and the option of providing a written submission.

The plan will focus on the expansion of current actions to address challenges with water systems and encompasses all municipal water systems in the province, including private and semi-public systems.
