Rural Water Quality Stewardship Rebates
Upgrading old wells helps everyone. A corroded casing, failed surface seal, or missing cap can affect the quality of your water and that of your neighbours. Rural Water Quality Stewardship Rebates are available to well owners. Visit the Wellhead Upgrades Rebate and Well Water Testing Rebate pages for more details.
