Run by EEC since 2002. Provides a guided self-assessment and education on private water wells. Promotes a range of behavior changes, so that residents can safeguard their well head, and those of their downstream neighbours who share the aquifer.
– about 800 rural families have benefitted from the EEC providing this program
– public forums held in several communities with guest speakers from Public Health Units, Conservation Authorities and local municipalities, professional well drillers, septic specialists, the Ontario Ground Water Association, and hydro-geologists
– Information Provider Workshops conducted which invite local water experts to share information and ensure common messaging around well safety
