Historique
The OCWA was established in 1993 through the Capital Investment Plan Act under the New Democratic Party (NDP) government of Bob Rae. The Capital Investment Plan Act transferred certain water works and sewage treatment plants to provincial ownership and/or operation by the province. The statute also authorized the agency to build new plants. Under the Progress Conservative government of Mike Harris, the facilities were returned to municipal ownership in 1996. The government initially expressed an interest in selling OCWA to the private sector, however, this did not occur.
The OCWA was notably also involved in cleaning up the water system at Walkerton, Ontario following a major outbreak of E. coli in 2000.
