WellSmart
The WellSmart education program helps private well owners protect the quality and supply of their drinking water. As a private well owner, you have access to one of nature's most valuable resources - cool, clean groundwater. You rely on this precious resource to supply clean, safe drinking water to your family.

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.
