 Safe
Water
Updates
The first duty of professional
engineers is to the public. Providing safe water
to the public is an issue where professional engineers
play a critical role. By applying principles that
promote 1) the role of the professional engineer,
and 2) the need for sustainable funding for water
supply systems, OSPE can help the government protect
the public while at the same time generate more
employment opportunities for Ontario’s engineers.
