TESTING YOUR WELL WATER

The Province of New Brunswick advises well water should be tested for the presence of bacteria regularly and for chemical contamination if it is suspected. In addition to regular tests, well water should be tested immediately if there is any change in its clarity, colour, odour or taste, or if there has been a significant change or new development on the surrounding land. If at any time, you have any doubt as to the safety of your private water supply, you should have it tested as soon as possible. Through regular assessment and testing of drinking water, the safety of your well water can be verified.
