Private Well & Water Quality Workshop

Do you know where your well water comes from or how well water may become contaminated? Want to know when you should have your water tested and what to test for? Join us for a workshop to learn about how private wells and septic systems work, maintenance, and about drinking water quality. Learn how to help ensure a safe drinking water supply for yourself and your family!

As part of our workshop, we will be facilitating water screening for total coliform bacteria and E. coli. We will also be covering treatment options if contaminants are found. Screening kits will be provided in the workshop and samples will need to be returned after the event.
