The water source at Trefoil Trails is from what is known as a “sand point well” – commonly used in the region.  The water quality is tested by Public Health during the camping season, and has been found to be safe in the past, but we have been advised by Public Health that water from this type of well can be susceptible to contamination.  For this reason, to ensure “safe Guiding”, any water to be used for:

• Drinking
• Toothbrushing
• Rinsing of food to be eaten without cooking
• Any use where water goes into the mouth

is not to be water directly from camp taps.  The tap water can be used for these purposes if treated, either by boiling (2-3 minute rolling boil) or you can bring sufficient commercially bottled water for these needs.  Many grocery stores sell large jugs of water, as do businesses such as Culligan.  Untreated tap water can be using for cooking, where boiling is involved, and for dishwashing, since part of the dishwashing process involves a rinse with bleach (see instructions in the kitchens), and well as for general clean-up.
