Is Your Well Water…Well?
Is your well water safe to drink? A recent report from Ontario’s Auditor General, Shelley Spence, revealed a concerning statistic: of the 1.3 million people in Ontario who rely on well-water, fewer than one-third of are conducting regular tests on their drinking water!
In Port Colborne, it’s easy to get a test kit. Visit City Hall Monday to Thursday, from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm and pick up a test kit and follow the instructions. Once you have your well water sample, drop it off back at City Hall, and you’ll receive a report on the quality of your well water courtesy of the Niagara Region!
