Bacteriological tests are performed monthly for total coliforms and fecal coliforms. Additional testing may take place when required.

The water is considered safe when: no sample contains more than 0 total coliform organisms per 100 ml; no consecutive sample from the same site shows the presence of coliform organisms.

Please visit Interior Health or Northern Health for current bacteriological results by water system.

Water systems are tested annually for chemical and physical properties and assessed for compliance with the Canadian Drinking Water Quality Guidelines.

If you would like more information on the chemical and physical monitoring of the water system you are connected to, please call the Environmental Services Department.
