Why should commercial businesses test their drinking water?

In Nova Scotia, many rural businesses—such as hotels, restaurants, bed and breakfasts, and schools—rely on private wells for their drinking water. To ensure water is safe for human consumption, facilities that regularly serve 25 or more people per day for at least 60 days per year are required to register their wells and complete quarterly water testing in accordance with Department of Environment standards.

 

Regular testing helps businesses meet regulatory requirements, protect public health, and demonstrate a commitment to safe operations.
