THE WALKERTON CLEAN WATER CENTRE

Established in 2004, The Walkerton Clean Water Centre (WCWC) is a world-class institute dedicated to ensuring that training and education about drinking water quality is available and accessible to owners and operators of Ontario's drinking water systems, especially to those serving small and remote communities.

With the release of the Province's mandatory drinking water certification courses in 2005/2006, OCWA was selected as the training provider for these courses. The Agency successfully renewed its contract with WCWC in 2008 to deliver these courses through to 2011. For more information on the one-day certificate renewal course "Safeguarding Drinking Water Quality" and the Entry-Level Course for Operators-In-Training, please visit the WCWC at www.wcwc.ca/en.
