Be well aware

Greening Nipissing
News Release

*******************

What you don’t know about your well... can hurt your family. Be Well Aware.

As a private well owner in Ontario, you are responsible for maintaining your well to prevent contamination. That’s the law.

For a special introductory rate of just $200 you can learn what you need to know to protect your family's health right at home. You'll learn:

• how to complete a self-assessment of your own well
• groundwater basics and how your well works
• why it's important to test your well water
• what to do if your water tests are bad
• steps you can take to prevent adverse tests
• what symptoms can be caused by drinking bad water

Upon course completion, based on information you submit about your own well, you'll receive a confidential report with advice from our Well Aware certified hydrogeologist.
Graduates will also be eligible to win a free vermin-proof cap installed on their well (a $400 value).

Anyone with a computer and internet can participate.
