Utilities Kingston releases annual water quality and wastewater compliance reports

Utilities Kingston has released its 2025 annual drinking water quality and wastewater reports, reaffirming the organization’s commitment to delivering safe, reliable water services and protecting local waterways. 

The reports provide a transparent overview of regulatory compliance, system performance, and the processes in place to deliver high-quality drinking water and responsibly manage and treat wastewater before safely returning it to the environment. 

“Every day, our teams work behind the scenes to ensure the water our community depends on is safe, reliable, and responsibly managed,” says Heather Roberts, Director, Water and Wastewater Services at Utilities Kingston. “These reports reflect the dedication behind that work and our commitment to serving our community with transparency and care.” 

Utilities Kingston provides drinking water to homes and businesses across Kingston and the village of Sydenham in South Frontenac Township. Drinking water systems use multiple filtration, treatment, monitoring, and backup processes to consistently meet Ontario’s strict health-based safety standards. 

Utilities Kingston also operates wastewater treatment facilities that use advanced biological, chemical, and physical processes to remove pollutants before treated, resource-quality water is released back into local waterways. Together, these integrated systems play an important role in protecting public health and maintaining local water quality. 

The reports are prepared in accordance with Ontario’s Safe Drinking Water Act and Environmental Compliance Approvals, ensuring Utilities Kingston meets strict provincial requirements while maintaining high standards for drinking water quality and wastewater management and treatment.
