Well water testing advised for those flooded
The B.C. government continues to advise owners of private drinking-water wells in flood-impacted areas to monitor their water quality.
In flood-affected areas, well water should be considered “not for for human consumption” until the well is assessed, and the water is disinfected and tested.
More information is available online here.
To help with this, the Ministry of Health, in partnership with Interior Health and Fraser Health and is making free sample kits and bacteriological testing available.
This program is available until Jan. 15, 2022, with the possibility of extension.
