Flooded Well? You can get it tested free of charge!

The Flood Program – Private Water Supplies:

The Saskatchewan Disease Control Laboratory will provide free bacteriological testing for citizens with a private water supply who are concerned that their well or cistern water may have been contaminated by flooding and is unsafe to drink.

Citizens with flooded private wells who wish to test their water should be directed to their local Public Health Offices who can provide information on whether they are eligible for free testing, sample containers and payment exempt requisition forms.

In order for customers to receive the payment exempt testing they must submit the following:

  • A blue Public Health Drinking Water Analysis requisition that has been stamped Payment Exempt.
  • Each requisition should also include “Flooded Private Well” written in the comments section.
  • A water sample collected in a 250 mL sterile container.

If the above requirements are not met customers will be charged for the testing of their water sample.  Please contact 306-787-7138 for any information or questions you have.
