Public Information: Private Water System Bacteriological Subsidy Program
 
As of August 8, 2013, the Province of Manitoba is resuming the Private Water System Bacteriological Subsidy Program through Horizon Lab. Private water system owners are eligible to receive a once-a-year subsidy for bacteriological (total coliform and E. coli) analysis of their drinking water. If the first sample result indicates that bacteria are present in the water, homeowners will receive a coupon from the lab for one resample free of charge.
 
The total price to homeowners for the once-a-year subsidized sample is $21.25.
 
Homeowners should sample their private drinking water source at least once a year to ensure the safety of their drinking water. Results obtained through the subsidy program are shared with the province for pattern surveillance purposes.
 
For information regarding sample bottle pick-up, and sample submission requirements, please contact Horizon Lab directly.
