Seine Rat Roseau Watershed to Assist Residents with Well Water Testing Residents of the Seine Rat Roseau Watershed have an opportunity to ensure their private well water is safe. On Thursday, June 27, the watershed will assist homeowners in testing their well water for E. coli and coli form bacteria. This initiative, subsidized by the provincial government, reduces the cost of testing to an affordable $25, including tax. Each well is eligible for one subsidized sample per year. Only the well owner can submit a sample, and it must be the first sample taken since April 1. Well owners eligible to have their well water tested for a subsidized cost of $25. Payments must be made by exact cash or cheque, with cheques payable to Horizon Lab Ltd. To collect a sample, first pick up your water sample bottle and application form in advance from the RM office. It is crucial to collect the water sample on the same day it is dropped off to ensure accurate results. Water samples should be dropped off at your participating RM office by 10 am on June 27, along with a completed Chain of Custody and SRRWD application forms. Ensure that the payment accompanies the sample and forms, as only those with the correct payment and completed documentation will be accepted. This testing initiative is an essential step in maintaining the safety and quality of drinking water sourced from private wells. Contaminated water can pose serious health risks, and regular testing helps prevent potential issues. For further details, residents can contact the Seine Rat Roseau Watershed at 204-326-1030, email administrator@srrwd.ca, or visit srrwd.ca.
