Wilson Conservation Area Drinking Water System A water sample collected on January 20th, 2026, showed a sodium level of 158 mg/L. The Ontario Drinking Water Systems Regulation 170/03 under the Safe Drinking Water Act requires any sodium result of 20 mg/L or higher must be reported to the Medical Officer of Health. Sodium occurs naturally in the soil and can be present in ground water sources. While sodium in drinking water usually contributes only a small portion of daily intake, it may be a concern for individuals with hypertension, congestive heart failure, or those on a sodium-restricted diet. If this applies to you, please discuss this information with your physician. Please be aware that water softeners using sodium can further increase the sodium level in your household drinking water. This may significantly contribute to daily sodium intake. It is recommended that you use a separate, unsoftened water supply for drinking and cooking. If you have any medical concerns, you should consult a physician. *Date of last revision: Feb. 2026*
