Why Test Your Water?

Hidden Dangers

You cannot tell if your water is safe by smell, taste, or color. Harmful contaminants like arsenic and uranium are naturally occurring in Nova Scotia groundwater.

Health Recommendations

Nova Scotia Health recommends testing your well every 6 months for bacteria and every 2 years for chemical contaminants.
