Free Drop-in Nitrate Water Testing - Cambridge

NOTE: You do NOT need to register to attend but it helps us plan for numbers.

Everyone should be able to trust that the water from their tap is safe to drink. That’s why worsening nitrate contamination in drinking water is concerning.

For households on bore water in regions with intensive dairying or high synthetic nitrogen fertiliser use, the problem seems to be getting worse.

Nitrate in drinking water is linked to increased risk of bowel cancer, Blue Baby Syndrome and preterm birth.

If you’re wanting to know the nitrate levels in your drinking water, please attend a free drop-in water testing day hosted by Greenpeace.

Bring 200mL of your bore water in a clean container. We’ll test your water for nitrate while you wait and give you the result and information about what your nitrate level means.

We want to ensure healthy drinking water for all.
