Ontario Clean Water Agency : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ontario Clean Water Agency The Ontario Clean Water Agency (OCWA) is a Crown agency of the Province of Ontario that provides operation, maintenance and management services for more than 450 water and wastewater treatment facilities in the province. ==History== OCWA was created in 1993 by the NDP government of Premier Bob Rae under the Ontario ''Capital Investment Plan Act''〔"Crown agency to build new roads," ''Toronto Star'', February 9, 1993, p.A1.〕 and initially took over provincial ownership of 153 water-treatment plants and 77 sewage-treatment facilities. It also operated 116 municipally owned water and sewage facilities.〔"8,000 new jobs from water plan; Ontario 'can't wait' for feds," ''The Hamilton Spectator'', February 12, 1993, p.A3.〕 By 1996, it had 800 employees and held contracts to operate 429 facilities in the province, comprising 25 per cent of Ontario's water-treatment plants and 57 per cent of the wastewater-treatment plants.〔"Minister says water agency to be sold," ''Toronto Star'', October 17, 1996〕 In October of that year, the Progressive Conservative government under Premier Mike Harris, which came to power in 1995, announced its plans to turn ownership of the facilities over to the municipalities and privatize OCWA as an environmental consulting firm.〔"Drinking water warning issued; Province's plan to shift costs to cities attacked," ''Toronto Star'', December 4, 1996, p.A2〕 Ownership of the facilities was transferred to the municipalities, but OCWA was not sold. It was transformed into a management services organization and in 1998 won what was then Canada's largest water and wastewater operations and maintenance contract—a 10-year, $213 million deal to operate the South Peel system.〔"OCWA beats private sector for Peel deal," ''Daily Commercial News and Construction Record'', December 14, 1998, p.A1〕 By 2000, OCWA operated and maintained more than 300 municipally-owned water and sewage treatment facilities on behalf of about 200 Ontario municipalities.〔"Key Ontario water agency listed up for grabs despite government denials," ''Canadian Press NewsWire'', June 8, 2000〕
