Well Aware encourages Ontario's residential well owners to protect their wells and our common groundwater supplies. Well Aware is a project of
Green Communities Canada. This project has received funding support from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. Technical support is provided by the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario.
Well Aware Home Visits
Severn Sound Environmental Association offers free Well Aware home visits, conducted by trained Water Guides, to help rural well owners identify priorities for action to protect their drinking water source.
The visits, which are voluntary, confidential, and non-regulatory, guide well owners through a self-assessment to help identify and address potential risks to their well water.
The Water Guide can provide solutions to individual concerns and troubleshoot specific well and septic problems, and help well owners understand when they need to call a licensed well contractor for repairs or upgrading.
The service includes recommendations for maintaining a healthy well and septic system, water testing, properly sealing unused wells, water conservation and yard naturalization.
A limited number of Well Aware home visits are being offered in 2010.
