The RM of St. Clements is pleased to share a new opportunity for residents to access well water bacteria testing with additional cost coverage through the Northeast Red Watershed District.
This program supports private well owners across the entire RM of St. Clements and is in addition to the existing provincial subsidy program.
How the Program Works
Residents are responsible for collecting their own water sample following the provided instructions. Samples must be taken directly from your drinking water tap.
To ensure accurate results, samples must be submitted to the lab within 24 hours of collection.
Drop-Off Details
- Location: RM of St. Clements Office, 1043 Kittson Rd
- Deadline: June 9, 2026 by 10:00 a.m.
- Samples will be refrigerated at the RM office and transported to the lab by the Northeast Red Watershed District.
Timing is Important:
Residents should collect their sample the morning of June 9, 2026, just prior to drop-off at 10am. Do not collect samples in advance, as testing accuracy depends on timely submission.
Cost Coverage:
Analysis will be completed by Duracan Laboratories, the same lab used in the provincial program.
Residents must pre-register by May 25, 2026 by submitting the attached form to:
info@northeastred.ca
Only residents who pre-register will have the remaining cost of testing covered through this initiative.
Important Reminder:
If you have already picked up a sample bottle but have not yet collected your sample, you are still eligible. Please ensure your registration form is submitted before May 25.
