Tap water is from a well and has been tested for bacteria and nitrates (meets drinking water standards). We do have a water cooler as well if you do not like the taste of the well water. Our cottage does not have garbage collection, but the landfill is only a 4 minute drive and we will provide a landfill card which allows for free disposal of household waste and recycling.
