The Municipality of Mississippi Mills is warning residents about a private company leaving unauthorized water testing kits on doorsteps. On March 13, 2026, the municipality confirmed that these door-to-door activities are not part of any municipal program or service.
The kits are typically left in bags containing bottles and are used to offer water testing as a way to sell water filtration and treatment products. According to municipal officials, the company is not affiliated with the municipality in any way.
Mississippi Mills does not send representatives door-to-door for unsolicited water testing. Residents are encouraged to be cautious about allowing home visits or engaging with these door-to-door sales tactics.
The municipality performs regular and routine monitoring of the community drinking water system to ensure it meets safety standards. Reports on water quality are produced annually and are made available for residents to review the official data. The latest 2024 Drinking Water System Annual Report is currently available on the municipality’s website.
