Life With A Septic and Well
Please refer to the following documents for information on wells, septic systems, water treatment options and suggestions to ensure their proper use and management.
Well and Septic Information
An excellent source for well and septic information can be found on the Canada Housing and Mortgage Corporation’s (CMHC) web site.
Health Canada's document What's in Your Well is a comprehensive resource for information to help you answer questions such as:
- What should I test my well water for ?
- How do I interpret my results ?
- How do I do a 'shock treatment' (cleaning the well with bleach) if my well has high levels of bacteria ?
- What treatment options exist (filters etc.) for bacterial and chemical contamination ?
- What are some common water quality problems ?
