Details

Join us in a FREE private well screening clinic to check for nitrates and chlorides! Discounted arsenic testing will be available at the clinic. Experienced water resource professionals will also be on site to discuss your results and offer guidance on well treatment equipment if needed. Vendors and educational information will be available as well, giving you the opportunity to learn more about protecting your private well and improving your water quality.

This event is made possible through Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment funds and by our partners, including the Chippewa River Watershed Association, the Minnesota Well Owners Organization, Minnesota Ground Water Association and Traut Companies.

 

What should I bring?
Participants should bring one quart of water to the event in a clean container. To collect your sample, run your cold tap for several minutes, then fill the container directly from the faucet without touching the inside of the lid or bottle. Keep the sample cold and collect it within 24 hours of the clinic to ensure accurate result. *Please do NOT bring water samples in a Ziplock bag.

We encourage participants to bring photos of their well and any water treatment systems. These visuals help groundwater professionals better understand your setup and interpret your water results. If you have a water treatment system, you should collect two samples and clearly label them “treated” and “untreated.” Take the untreated sample before the treatment system (such as from an outdoor spigot) and the treated sample from a tap used for drinking water (like the kitchen sink). Comparing the two samples will show how effectively your treatment system is working.
