I got a notice the other day from the Environment Network in Collingwood that I think will be of interest to all rural property owners. They are promoting the Well Aware Program which is a project of Green Communities Canada that receives funding support from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.
Well Aware home visits, conducted by trained Water Guides, help rural well owners identify priorities for action to protect their drinking water source. The visits, which are VOLUNTARY, CONFIDENTIAL, and NON-REGULATORY, guide well owners through a self-assessment to help identify and address potential risks to their well water.
This Includes:
• Well owners are guided through a self-assessment to help identify and address
potential risks to their well water
• Recommendations on well maintenance and upgrading
• Water Conservation Tips
• Information on sealing unused wells
• How to correctly take water samples
• Septic Safety Information
• A full written report for the well owner
To arrange well aware home visit for rural well and septic owners in Simcoe and Grey Counties, contact the Environment Network located at 44 St. Marie St. In Collingwood, 705.446.0551 or Toll Free: 866.377.0551 Email: info@environmentnetwork.org
