Volunteers needed for Residential Drinking Water Lead Testing
AB Environment and Parks have instituted a Lead Sampling Program to monitor lead levels in drinking water in private homes. As per the program, the Village is required to test 20 homes built before 1975 this year within our community. If your home was built before 1975 and are interested in participating in a water lead test, please contact the Village Office. Participating homeowners will receive a free, 5-minute water test first thing in the morning that will be conducted by our Wastewater Operator, within your home. Testing will begin August 2nd.
You will be notified if lead is found within your drinking water. If lead is found, you are not obligated to incur any personal costs to remedy the situation at this time, but can plan to replace your internal plumbing when your personal finances allow.
To register for this program, please contact the Office at 403-756-3379 or office@stirling.ca
