Well Water Survey
This week we are sending out a Well Water questionnaire survey to 800 Atlantic PATH volunteers in selected communities on private well water supply. The survey is designed to find out how many people in Nova Scotia routinely test and treat their drinking water and to collect residents' views on the safety and quality of their drinking water. Results of the survey will be used to develop policy recommendations for improved well water regulation and to evaluate options for community intervention in well water testing and treatment. Ultimately we hope that this knowledge will help in the provision of a healthier well water environment for Nova Scotians.
Centres Open in Newfoundland
Two assessment centres have just opened in St. John’s NL – one each in the east and west end of the city. There will be a centre in Gander in March.
