James Campbell says a company is knocking on doors claiming they're there on behalf of Halifax Water to test the water

Halifax Water wants to let its customers know it does not contract out its water testing services.

"We're hearing from customers that there's a company going around door-to-door, apparently called P.P.S., saying they're working on behalf of Halifax Water and they're there to test the water," said the utility's spokesperson James Campbell. "That's just not the case."

Campbell told NEWS 95.7's The Sheldon MacLeod Show Halifax Water has inhouse staff to take care of water testing.

"There's really no need to have your water tested by anyone but Halifax Water," he said. "If you feel you have a concern with the water quality, contact Halifax Water directly."
