The 2013 Safe Drinking Water for First Nations Act allowed for the development of federal regulations to support First Nations’ access to clean, reliable drinking water and effective treatment of wastewater. First Nations shared several concerns with the 2013 Safe Drinking Water for First Nations Act, including:
- lack of adequate, predictable and sustainable funding
- lack of recognition of Aboriginal rights
- potential infringement of Aboriginal and treaty rights
- lack of protection of source water
- insufficient engagement on issues that directly affect First Nations
Unfortunately, the CEPA estimates there are around 23,000 chemicals in Canada right now. Just think for a minute about all of the medicines and prescriptions we take, pass through our system, and then end up back in our drinking water unregulated.
Not a fun thought.

Jim & Cathy Blakely from Eco Water went beyond the call of... duty to help me on a Saturday evening when I discovered that water was leaking in my basement. It was quite a mystery for awhile but Neil Thompson helped them sort it out. What a wonderful service!read more

They showed up the next day as I had well issues and... chatted with Jim the owner for a bit and he tested our well water and advised us that it was contaminated and not worth the money to clean it up and not only did he not try to sell us any equipment but he also spent a good hour advising us as to who he recommends as well drillers etc. He went above and beyond to be helpful to us and can't compliment Eco enough for their true professional.read more

Helpful and friendly staff.After years of dealing with... Eco I just purchased a water softener from them and had it installed. Jim came to my house and explained everything in detail and left me with no questions. The install was fast and the installers were really kind and respectful of my property. They answered all my questions.Anyone going to anyone else for anything related to water would be like going to a Boat Captain looking for a lesson in flying! Don’t be that person! Ask Eco!read more

Talk about same day service! Not to mislead you but I... called in the morning to book an appointment to have someone come and check the hose for the reverse osmosis. Kathy offered to see if Jim could stop by on his way back to Belleville. Jim arrived, fixed my leak etc. Superb all round customer service ... very reliable, respectable, knowledgable and professional experience that we would highly recommend!! It's comforting to know ECO Water is there when you need them.Thank you Kathy, Jim and staff!read more

Jim, especially, thank you for taking the time and making... the effort to help me understand my systems and identify the trouble spots.Your explanation of the system functions and design clarified it for me. After our call, I was able to identify and fix the trouble as soon as I got home.I went to Home Hardware and bought their last available Pump Controller, took it home, checked the water level with a landscaping tape measure and replaced the unit just as you described by just unplugging and replacing the capacitor module. Worked immediately.All I can say is thanks. You saved me money and helped me get back to operational status while learning a great deal about our systems.read more

Customer Service at its best...Jim at Ecowater was above... that, I do have some water system problems at my house and Jim came to take a look but also found a core problem with my Well that needs to be addressed before hand. Jim, instead of selling me stuff to "make it work" told me to look after that first then to call him back...now that is someone caring for the customer...will be calling him for sure...thank you Jimread more

A fantastic water system and the customer service is the... best. My old water system was such a source of stress for me. Jim from Eco Water came right away to talk about getting a new water system when I called. He spent lots of time with me helping me understand (I'm new to the country). And the guys that installed the system went above and beyond what I had asked them to do. My new system works so smoothly. It's quiet, the water tastes amazing, its cleaner water then I ever had (all the white scum is gone). Knowing that I can phone eco water with any problems, and they will answer right away to help problem solve, is such a relief. It also saves on un-needed service calls. Highly recommend.read more

(table)The safe drinking water act (SDWA) says that the quality of all drinking water must be protected and authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish minimum standards requiring all owners and/or operators of public water systems to comply with these standards. Under the Act, the EPA also establishes minimum standards for state programs to protect underground sources of drinking water.What is the best water to drink?
The best water to drink is the one that you will drink the most of and the most often. However, if you’re looking for a clear breakdown of the benefits to each kind, here is a quick list:- Hydrogen Water: Technically the most healthy water to drink, hydrogen water contains hydrogen molecules that act as powerful antioxidants. The claim is these molecules are capable of helping your body neutralize harmful free radicals, reduce inflammation, & slow down aging.
- Alkaline Water: Classified as water with a pH level of 8 or above, Alkaline Water has become more popular because research shows that an alkaline diet is generally good for health as the body thrives when it is able to maintain a slightly alkaline pH. While low on minerals & nutrients, alkaline water has been shown to relieve symptoms of upset stomach, increase the body’s overall absorption of minerals by 30%, and reduce blood pressure by 15% (see study).
- Distilled Water: Distilled water has the highest level of purity and is almost sterile. Sometimes called demineralized or deionized water, distilled water is water that has had everything removed (including ions and minerals). So while it’s the purest form of water that you can get, it literally has nothing in it (good or bad). There are no harmful side effects to drinking distilled water but it is not recommended as the sole source of drinking water as it lacks basic minerals & nutrients that are beneficial in water.
- Bottled Water: Bottled water is a convenient way to access clean safe drinking water however, some large water brands have admitted that their bottled water is nothing more than filtered tap water and it comes with a large environmental cost due to its single serve plastic container. Bottled water also has a shelf life (yes, really) as the plastic leaches into the water overtime, effectively contaminating it.
- Boiled Water: While boiling your water is one of the cheapest ways to purify your water, boiling only kills pathogens and is not capable of removing other contaminants such as like lead, pesticides, nitrates and other chemicals. Boiling water also lends a very flat taste to the water which most people do not prefer.
- Tap Water:
