Water Testing Information & Pricing
We collect a water sample from the property being inspected, and deliver it to the testing laboratory for testing. When the samples have been tested, the results are sent to us via email. We compare the levels against the acceptable limits based on Health Canada's Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water & Nova Scotia Health Authority, and inform you of the results via email. The costs below comprised of the laboratory charges plus a fee for collecting, transporting and interpreting the results against Health Canada's guidelines.
Nova Scotia Environment recommends bacterial testing of water quality at least every six months and chemical testing of water quality at least every two years.
The current turn-around time from collection to delivery of lab results is 10-20 business days depending upon laboratory capacity. This is due to recent wildfires and flooding.
