Often, people do not realize the environmental and health impacts of not regularly testing well water and properly maintaining oil tanks and septic systems. The Environmental Home Assessment Program is designed to inform Nova Scotians about the importance of their on-site water wells and septic systems, as well as their home oil tank. The home assessment will provide educational information about the importance of regular well water quality testing, pumping of the septic system and maintenance of the oil tank. The program is FREE and offers home assessments to hundreds of individual homes served by water wells and on-site septic systems. Homeowners who participate will receive : • A water and wastewater assessment for their property • A $100 rebate on septic tank pumping • A water quality sampling kit • Water saving devices • Samples of environmentally friendly cleaners • And a home oil tank system checklist Contact Diana Saunders toll free 1-866-551-5586 for more information Last Modified: Fri, Jun 6, 2008
