The Londesboro Lions Club is hosting another well water testing event this year.
On Thursday, November 14, owners of private wells can return their well water samples between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. that evening to the Lions Hall at 282 Kings Road, Londesborough.
The event encourages well owners to "test, protect and maintain." Lions members are distributing sample bottles to homes in Londesborough prior to the event. Water testing sample bottles are also available for pickup, in advance of the event, at Nature’s Nest and Hensall District Co-op’s Londesborough locations. Sample bottles are available at the event as well.
Samples are kept chilled and delivered to Huron Perth Public Health for testing the morning after the event. Information on well protection and septic maintenance is available at the event, as well.
Follow the Londesboro and District Lions Club Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/LondesboroLions) for updates.
