Londesborough Lions Club Host Well Water Testing Event

by Bob Montgomery

The Londesborough and District Lions Club is hosting a water sampling event on Thursday, January 25th.

Lions Club members are distributing sample bottles to homes in Londesborough ahead of 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 will also be available at the event.

The Londesborough and District Lions Club is working with Drinking Water Source Protection to host the event. The Lions Club volunteers and source protection staff ensure samples are kept chilled and delivered to Huron Perth Public Health for testing the next morning. Experts on well protection and septic maintenance will be available to provide information and answer questions at the event.

The Londesborough and District Lions Club members believe the easier they can make the sampling of private wells, the more people will take advantage of the opportunity to test their wells.

The water sampling event is being held on Thursday, January 25th from seven until nine at the Lions Hall at 282 Kings Road in Londesborough.
