Which act is NOT related to Ontario's drinking water legislation?

  1. Clean Water Act

  2. Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002

  3. Ontario Water Resources Act

  4. Environmental Quality Act

The correct answer is: Environmental Quality Act

The Environmental Quality Act is not directly related to Ontario's drinking water legislation. While it does address various environmental concerns, including pollution and quality, it does not specifically focus on the regulations, standards, or frameworks that govern drinking water in Ontario. In contrast, the Clean Water Act is instrumental in protecting sources of drinking water by establishing source protection plans to mitigate risks. The Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002 sets stringent standards for water quality and the treatment of drinking water to ensure public health. The Ontario Water Resources Act provides oversight for the management and regulation of water resources, including the drinking water supply. Together, these acts create a comprehensive legislative framework aimed at safeguarding drinking water quality and management in the province.
