Ground Water Quality Fact Sheets
These seven fact sheets provide general information on total
and faecal coliform bacteria; nitrate; arsenic; fluoride; sodium;
iron and manganese; and hardness and their main occurrence in
the province. The summary of ground water quality is based on
a review of historical Water Quality Check Program results.
The information in the fact sheets is intended to encourage private
well owners and users to test their well water quality on an ongoing
basis and to provide information to better protect private domestic
drinking water sources.
For specific information on testing your well water supply, contact
your local public health inspector.
