Testing - The closest facility for testing well water is the Cobequid Community Health Centre (Hospital) in Lower Sackville. Water sample bottles are available from the receptionist free of charge upon entry into the building. Sample can be dropped off at the lab on the second floor where they will give you a phone number where you can phone in your payment with credit card.
