Is our drinking water safe?

Absolutely. The Town’s water quality testing – posted to cochrane.ca/WaterQuality – confirms that lead levels in our water supply are at 0.00005 mg/L, well below Health Canada’s maximum acceptable limit of 0.005 mg/L. Over the years, as the Town has inspected and replaced pipes, no lead pipes have been found.
