Chignecto Central Regional Centre for Education has a drinking water quality monitoring and testing program in place that includes regular quarterly testing for coliforms and annual chemical analysis.
In 2019, Health Canada published new health-based guidelines for lead and copper in drinking water. A new water testing protocol for copper and lead was outlined by the Department of Environment for all Nova Scotia schools.
All CCRCE schools have been sampled and tested during the fall of 2019 and spring/summer of 2020.
