As we ease into Spring, the Health Unit is reminding us now is the time to get well water tested.
Dr. Linna Li, Medical Officer of Health tells us its better to be safe than sorry.
She adds Our municipalities take good care of our municipal drinking water systems.
Senior Health Inspector Sarah Burris says doing the test is the only way to guarantee every sip isn’t harmful.
Sampling bottles can be picked up and dropped off from nine different locations where they will be couriered to an Ontario Public Health Laboratory for analysis.
She notes that anyone in Perth should drop off their water sample at the Tay Valley Township offices.
