Funding to Test Water Systems

The Northwestern Health Unit is getting over $300,000 from the Provincial Government to test water systems in the region.
The Health Unit is taking over testing smaller water systems at resorts and fly-in fishing camps from the Ministry of the Environment.
The money will help train health unit employees and pay for travel to remote parts of the Kenora and Rainy River District’s.
The Health Unit estimates it will take about 3-years to inspect about 1,200 water systems.
