By accessing and using the Stonebrook Home website at stonebrookhome.org, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use this site. These terms apply to all visitors and users of the site.
Nature of Content
Stonebrook Home publishes general informational content on rural well water systems and groundwater quality in Canada. All articles, guides, and reference material on this site are intended for informational purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes professional engineering, hydrogeological, legal, or health advice.
Private water well systems are subject to site-specific geological, regulatory, and environmental conditions that cannot be assessed through a general informational website. Decisions regarding well construction, water quality management, system modification, or remediation should be made in consultation with qualified professionals licensed under applicable provincial or territorial requirements.
Accuracy and Currency of Information
Stonebrook Home makes reasonable efforts to ensure that information published on this site is accurate at the time of publication. However, regulations governing private wells vary by province and territory and are subject to change. Health Canada's Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality are periodically revised. Site content may not reflect the most current regulatory requirements or guideline values at any given time.
Stonebrook Home does not warrant that any information on this site is complete, accurate, current, or applicable to any specific situation or jurisdiction. Visitors are responsible for independently verifying regulatory requirements and guideline values with the relevant authorities before making decisions based on information found on this site.
No Professional Relationship
Using this website does not create any professional relationship — including a hydrogeological, engineering, medical, or legal relationship — between the visitor and Stonebrook Home. The site does not provide consulting services. No reliance should be placed on site content as a substitute for professional advice tailored to a specific situation.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Stonebrook Home and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or other damages arising from the use of, or inability to use, information on this site. This includes without limitation any damages arising from reliance on site content for decisions affecting water system design, construction, operation, or water quality management.
