How To Test Your Water
We encourage you to test your water for bacteria yearly and the chemical makeup of your water every 3 years.
1) Pick up your water test kits at the North Shore Community Centre or PEI Analytical Laboratories.
2) Deliver the cool, same-day samples to PEI Analytical Laboratories at 23 Innovation Way, Charlottetown (off Upton Road, across from the Industrial Park).
To keep your septic system healthy and free from problems or impacts on your water quality – pump your septic system every 3-5 years.
Record above that you tested your system. We will keep a record and send a reminder to you at year three. This helps ensure that the septic systems in our Community are being effectively maintained.
