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 and has received funding support from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment.  Locally, the program is delivered by EcoSuperior and supported by the City of Thunder Bay and Thunder Bay District Health Unit. You can find more details at www.wellaware.ca

HOME VISITS: GUIDED SELF-ASSESSMENTS  

Well Aware home visits, conducted by trained Water Guides, 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 service takes about 2 hours, and all information provided during the visit remains confidential. EcoSuperior supplies a written report and recommendations, water testing sample bottles from the Public Health Laboratory (Ontario Ministry of Health) and a set of Well Aware drinking glasses. The City of Thunder Bay also provides a water conservation kit for wells within the city.

The service includes recommendations on well maintenance and upgrading, water testing, properly sealing unused wells, water conservation, septic system management, safe housecleaning products, and yard naturalization.

The Water Guide can provide solutions to individual concerns and troubleshoot specific well and septic problems as well as help well owners understand when they need to call a licensed well contractor for repairs or upgrading.

Guided Self Assessments are available FREE* of charge to rural residents of the City of Thunder Bay, as well as the following townships: Shuniah, Gorham, Ware, Oliver Paipoonge, Neebing, Gillies, Conmee, and O’connor. * Mileage fees apply but may be waived if you sign up a neighbour on the same day.

To schedule an appointment, please contact EcoSuperior at 624-2140.
