Qualified Individuals :: Groundwater Wells :: Introduction
Only the Holders of a Certificate of
Qualification, issued by the Nova Scotia Department of the
Environment can remove the cover from a well to conduct any
inspection, testing, or well repair work, "inside a well". Use a
qualified individual, (who is the holder of a Certificate of
Qualification) who knows about:
- wells and proper water sampling protocols
- proper well disinfection
procedures any time the cover from a well is removed to conduct any inspection,
testing, or well repair work "inside a well"
- proper procedures for
conducting flow tests in drilled wells and dug wells for evaluating well flow
Improper work conducted by individuals
who are not licensed or trained going onto a property they do not
own and conducting work "for profit" can contaminate the well by
removing the well cover and introducing equipment into the well or
allowing substances to enter the well that has the probability of
contaminating the open well.
