Spring is a great time to test your drinking water 💧 As the snow melts and groundwater levels change, well water can become more vulnerable to contamination. Regular testing helps ensure your water is safe for you and your family.

If you use a private well, consider testing this spring especially if you notice changes in taste, smell, or appearance.

🌧️ Flooding is the most common natural hazard in Canada and can happen quickly with heavy rain or melting snow.

Here are a few tips to help you stay safe as rain is forecasted for the next couple days in the region:

🏠 Be prepared
• Check your sump pump and clear drains/downspouts
• Move valuables out of low-lying areas like basements
• Have an emergency kit ready (enough for 72 hours)

⚠️ Stay safe
• Keep away from high or fast-moving water
• Never walk or drive through flooded areas
• Keep children and pets away from waterways

Floodwater can be contaminated — it’s best to avoid contact.
