SFU – Drinking Water Quality Monitoring Report 2013
Executive Summary
Simon Fraser University (SFU) implemented a drinking water sampling and testing program in
2002.
Over time this program has been refined and during 2005 SFU developed a
comprehensive Drinking Water Quality Monitoring Program. This monitoring program was
developed based on the standard program adopted by Metro Vancouver member municipalities,
the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (GCDWQ), and input from the Fraser Health
Authority. SFU has collected and analyzed water quality since 2002 and with the implementation
of this monitoring program in progress, will continue to monitor water quality within its
distribution system. This report outlines this program and its results for the year 2013.
The development of the comprehensive Drinking Water Quality Monitoring program was a
significant commitment made by SFU to monitor the delivery of safe and high quality water. It
will generate additional data for gaining understanding of SFU’s water distribution system and for
evaluating the historic performance of the system in a reliable and systematic way. Most
importantly, it allows for potential health hazards to be identified and consumer’s water concerns
to be addressed.
Over 500 samples were taken from the water distribution system during 2013. No samples
exceeded the limits set out in the Drinking Water Protection Act and Regulation and the
Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality. SFU is committed to delivery of water of the
highest quality, and will continue to make the necessary investment to ensure its continued
success.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of the Drinking Water Quality Monitoring
Program during 2013 for SFU’s water distribution system.
During 2013 the provision of drinking water was governed by the Drinking Water Protection
Regulation (pursuant to the Drinking Water Protection Act). This regulation requires suppliers of
drinking water in BC to:
1
Develop a process to notify the Drinking Water Officer (DWO) of situations or
conditions that render or could render the water unfit to drink
2
Implement a plan for collecting, shipping and analyzing water samples in
compliance with the direction set by the DWO
3
Implement a plan for reporting monitoring results to the DWO and to water
users including the preparation of an annual report
SFU is required to hold an annual Operating Permit and to monitor the water quality in the SFU
distribution system. Appendix A includes a graphic summary of test results for 2013.
This document includes a brief introduction to SFU’s water distribution system and its drinking
water monitoring and testing program. The remaining parts of this document summarize the
results and analysis of water samples collected in 2013 and evaluates the distribution system’s
performance in delivering safe drinking water.
During 2005 a comprehensive update to the Water Quality Monitoring program was completed
and has been phased in over time.

WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
SFU’s water distribution site map is available on request to authorized people. It extends from
the water tower on the east side to the townhouses on the west side of the campus. Water is
supplied to SFU by Metro Vancouver under terms of an agreement established in 1964. Water is
supplied to the Kingsgate Pump Station where it is then pumped via a 450 mm diameter water
main to the SFU water tower. The Kingsgate Pump Station and 450 mm water main are owned
and operated by the City of Burnaby.
SFU owns and operates the fire pump and water distribution system for the campus. It has a
joint use agreement with the City of Burnaby. The NE-section of the campus continues to be
developed as residential. The water distribution system in the Trust Land is operated by the City
of Burnaby.
The main distribution system is comprised of pipes ranging in size from 150 mm diameter to 450
mm diameter and consists of cast iron, steel, asbestos cement, and ductile iron materials.
The distribution system was not modified in any way in 2013.

TESTING AND MONITORING PROGRAM
Drinking water quality is a function of source water quality, water treatment, and water quality
changes after treatment. As a result, monitoring of drinking water quality consists of three
components: source water monitoring, monitoring after treatment, and monitoring in the
distribution system. While Metro Vancouver carries out testing of water at the source and testing
after treatment, SFU’s Drinking Water Quality Monitoring Program is focused on monitoring the
water quality within its own water distribution system. No water treatment is undertaken to the
water system at SFU.
The monitoring and testing program consists of routine monitoring, for obtaining an accurate
overview of water quality within the distribution system, and non-routine monitoring, for handling
complaint and emergency situations. Monitoring includes two components: collection of the
sample and laboratory analysis of the sample.
3.1
Routine Monitoring
The collection of water samples is performed by SFU staff and either tested on campus or
forwarded to a qualified lab for analysis. Dedicated sampling stations have been installed to
ensure good sampling practices. The collection, transportation and analysis of samples were
performed in accordance with the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater 20th Edition. All microbiological analyses were conducted by laboratories that are
approved by Canadian Association of Environmental Analytical Laboratories or an equivalent
certification program for the other tests performed.
Results of the analyses are reported and maintained within a third party data management
system (WaterTrax).
WaterTrax automatically receives laboratory results and issues a
notification to inform details to stake holders, if a sample is out of compliance. It also stores all
the water quality data and test results and provides an easily accessible venue to view the
information.
3.1.1
SAMPLING PARAMETERS
The parameters that were analyzed are summarized in the following table:

The significance of the parameters of most relevance is briefly discussed below. Further details
regarding the parameters listed in the above table can be found by accessing the supporting
documents of the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality (GCDWQ) through the following
web site, http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/ewh-semt/water-eau/drink-potab/guide/index-eng.php, or by
contacting Health Canada at (613) 957-2991.
Total Coliforms and E. coli
One of the primary concerns in water quality is the growth of coliform bacteria. The presence of
total coliforms indicates that treatment is inadequate or that the distribution system is
experiencing regrowth or infiltration. Escherichia coli (E. coli), one species in the fecal coliform
group, is a definite indicator of the presence of contamination within the distribution system.
Free Chlorine Residual
Free chlorine residual provides a good indication of water quality within the distribution system.
Low chlorine residual may indicate deteriorating water quality as a result of bacterial regrowth or
stagnant water. Maintaining a free chlorine residual of at least 0.2 mg/L in the distribution
system has been observed to reduce the background level of bacterial flora.
3.1.2
SAMPLING LOCATIONS
During 2005 SFU implemented a permanent sampling location program. Sampling locations are
distributed in different areas throughout SFU so as to obtain an accurate overview of water
quality of the distribution system. The eight locations were strategically selected based on land
use and system configuration as follows:
10% source water
40% medium flow
40% low flow – water upstream of dead ends;
10% dead ends, unlooped lines, stagnant areas.
These locations are described in the table below. Appendix A contains the results of the testing
conducted throughout the year.

Information provided by SFU indicates the number of users of the water system is approximately
10,000 persons including students and staff. Therefore, SFU as a purveyor of drinking water is
required to test at least nine samples per month for bacteriological parameters as outlined in the
Drinking Water Protection Regulation . During 2013, SFU tested twelve samples in January, eleven
samples in July, nine samples in August, seven samples in October and eight samples in the
remaining 8 months.
3.2
Non-routine Monitoring
Consumer complaints are recorded so that water quality concerns can be tracked and responded
to efficiently. The parameters to be sampled for will depend on the nature of the complaint. In
any emergency situation, the procedures outlined in the SFU Emergency Response Plan were
followed.

SAMPLE ANALYSIS RESULTS
511 samples were taken from the water distribution system during 2013. No samples exceeded
the limits set out in the BC Drinking Water Protection Regulation (DWPR) and the GCDWQ. The
sample analysis results are summarized in Table 4 below, and some of the parameters worth
noting are discussed in this section. It should be noted that the limits contained within the
GCDWQ are recommendations only and representative of best practices. These can become
requirements if the Drinking Water Officer places a condition on the Operating Permit for SFU. At
present there are no such conditions placed on SFU.
Coliform
The BCDWPR requires that (1) no sample should contain fecal coliform and Escherichia coli (E.
coli) and that (2) no sample should contain more than 10 total coliform per 100 millilitre or not
more than 10% of samples from the distribution system in a given calendar month should show
the presence of total coliform bacteria.
Of the 103 samples analysed for microbiological criteria in the year 2013, no E. Coli or total
coliforms were detected. Therefore, all samples met the water quality requirements of the
BCDWPR.

Free Chlorine Residual
No sampling stations within SFU fell below the average free chlorine residual target concentration
of 0.2 mg/L. However, out of the 408 samples analyzed for free chlorine levels, 18 samples from
5 different sampling stations fell between 0.15 mg/L and 0.20 mg/L. The table below outlines
the free chlorine concentration of the samples taken from all 8 sampling points.
