Rebates for your Water Test
Maintaining the quality of drinking water from your well is essential for the health and wellbeing of you and your family, and it just got easier. In order to assist residents in maintaining and improving groundwater quality in rural areas the Regional District of Nanaimo has expanded their rebate program. ABC Water Systems are excited to announce that we are now an official pick-up and drop-off location for the well water testing rebate program. This rebate is for up to 50% of your full spectrum water quality test which will be a full spectrum analysis (chemical and bacteriological) and completed by a provincially approved lab.
To be eligible for the rebate you must meet the requirements set out in their information document. Here is what is laid out in the official document:
- Must be a residential landowner with a private domestic well within the RDN, including electoral areas (A, B, C, E, F, G, H) and member municipalities (Nanaimo, Lantzville, Parksville, Qualicum Beach).
- Well water tests must be a full spectrum analysis (chemical and bacteriological) completed by a provincially approved lab (i.e. on Vancouver Island: B.V. Labs (formerly Maxxam Analytics) or M.B. Laboratories). For the full Directory of Qualified Laboratories in BC visit www.nrs.gov.bc.ca/qualified-labs.
- Each private domestic well is eligible for one (1) rebate over the lifetime of the program. Water purveyors and commercial properties are NOT eligible.
- All samples must be submitted between January 1 and December 31, 2020.
This rebate is not available for commercial properties.
A limited number of rebates are available and funds are available on a first- come first-served basis. To get your voucher, please visit www.RDNrebates.ca. Vouchers are submitted to the accredited lab with your well water sample(s).
