wellSMART

Your family's health depends on it!

The wellSMART education program helps private well owners protect the quality and supply of their drinking water. As a private well owner, you have access to one of nature's most valuable resources - cool, clean groundwater. You rely on this precious resource to supply clean, safe drinking water to your family.

Rebates available: In addition to wellSmart educational workshops, we are also offering financial help for well owners through the Wellhead Upgrades and Well Water Testing Rebates!

wellSMART Workshops

Learn how to keep your well in safe running order! wellSMART workshops will provide you with an opportunity to ask questions of local well drillers and pump installers, the Vancouver Island Health Authority, the BC Ministry of Environment, and Maxxam Analytics (North Island Labs).

Taking proper care of your well may protect your investment and extend the operational life of your well. Learn about:
