Canadian Water Compliance, with over 7 years of dedicated service and a team of certified water testing professionals, provides essential water quality assurance for Peterborough residents and businesses. As part of Central Ontario, Peterborough faces unique water quality challenges that demand expert monitoring and testing.
Recent tests have revealed potential contaminants in Peterborough's water supply:
Lead from older plumbing systems
Bacterial contamination, including E. coli
Chlorine byproducts
Microplastics
Nitrates from agricultural runoff
Emerging contaminants of concern
These findings underscore the importance of regular, professional water testing to ensure the health and safety of your Peterborough household or business.
Canadian Water Compliance offers a wide range of water testing services tailored to Peterborough's specific needs:

Our certified professionals ensure accurate results for all these tests, providing you with a complete picture of your Peterborough water quality.
Water testing in Peterborough is governed by several key regulations:
City of Peterborough Water By-law
Ontario Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002
Ontario Regulation 170/03
Canadian Water Compliance not only meets these standards but often exceeds them, ensuring your Peterborough water is tested to the highest possible standards.
In 2024, a report from the Ontario auditor general recommended the closure of the Public Health Ontario Laboratory in Peterborough, which tests well water and beach water for contaminants. This potential closure highlights the ongoing need for vigilant water testing in Peterborough, especially for private well owners. Canadian Water Compliance has been at the forefront of addressing these concerns, providing specialized testing services and helping Peterborough residents understand their water quality risks.
