Water Testing for Homeowners

Community programsFood
Written By CRCHC

If you live in a rural area and you have a well on your property you can have your well water tested for free through the Leeds, Grenville and Lanark District Health Unit and CRCHC. The CRCHC Portland location is one of several locations where you can pick up and drop of well water sample bottles. Public Health Inspectors will help you understand your drinking water sample results and provide you advice on how to fix the problem. The Health Unit well water sampling program tests for bacteria, testing for minerals and chemicals can be done through a private lab. Learn more about how you can protect your drinking water by downloading the Ground Water Protection Workbook.

How this program works

You can drop off your well water sample at the CRCHC Portland location and it will be sent to the Kingston Public Health Laboratory for testing. Drop offs can occur anytime during our hours of operation.

How to access this program

The current program is underway, and you can pick up or drop off bottles anytime during business hours. You can always contact us for more information.
