Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 2 Exam Practice

Why should water contamination testing be considered in recreational properties?

1. Tests are mandatory for all Ontario properties

2. Recreational properties often rely on private wells

3. It's only necessary if mandated by local regulations

4. Testing should be quarterly

5. It avoids costly future repairs

6. Maintenance companies require it

The correct answer is: Recreational properties often rely on private wells

Water contamination testing should be considered in recreational properties because these properties often rely on private wells for their water supply. Private wells are not regulated in the same way as municipal water supplies, so it is essential for property owners to ensure their water is safe for recreational purposes by conducting testing regularly. This is why option B is the correct choice. Options A, C, D, E, and F are incorrect because water contamination testing is not mandatory for all Ontario properties, not only necessary if mandated by local regulations, not required quarterly, not primarily done to avoid costly future repairs, and not a requirement enforced by maintenance companies.
