NSW Health continues to recommend private bore owners consider testing their groundwater.
As part of a NSW Government bore water screening program, Narrabri residents are being offered PFAS sampling of privately-owned bores, at no cost to the owner.
Testing will take place from Monday, 24 November to Wednesday, 26 November 2025. Participants will receive the results for their bore.
Registrations for the screening program will be accepted until 12 noon Friday, 21 November 2025.
The program is open to anyone in the Narrabri township with either a registered or un-registered bore who wants to participate in the screening program.
Narrabri residents who would like to be part of the bore screening program must complete the registration form, which is available from Council’s website.
