Is the Water in Your New Home Safe to Drink?

When buying a home water in the country, water quality and volume should be two of the most critical considerations. In most real estate transactions, Public Health Units generally provide testing for the presence of the bacterial indicators of contamination in private drinking water. Currently, there are no requirements or legislation for who is taking a real estate water sample. Water should be given more consideration in rural real estate transactions. Many people do not retest the water after the purchase is complete, as they are busy with the euphoria that comes along with the new acquisition of the property.
