Grey Bruce Public Health is encouraging anyone with a private well, this is the ideal time to test your well water.
Now kicking into spring, residents are able to pick up a well water sample collection kit and drop off samples at any of the 14 pick up-drop off locations across Grey Bruce.
Submitted samples are tested by Public Health Ontario for bacterial indicators of contamination such as E. coli.
Senior Public Health Manager Andrew Barton says residents should test their well water at least three times a year with the best times to test being when chances of contamination are greatest such as early spring, after heavy rains or during thaw or flooding conditions.
