You will be able to learn a little bit more about the steps forward or backward Kewaunee County has made when it comes to water quality when the Land and Water Conservation Committee meets at 5 p.m. this Wednesday. For the last year, the committee has tried to hold night meetings in conjunction with releasing the county’s most recent round of well testing. Approximately 300 homes had their wells tested last October for contaminants such as nitrates and bacteria, bringing negative headlines to Kewaunee County for the last decade. UW-Stevens Point Groundwater Outreach Specialist Kevin Masarik will guide the discussion at 6 p.m. as the Land and Water Conservation Committee meeting concludes. Committee chairperson Aaron Augustian says the discussion around the water testing results, especially in Casco, where nitrate levels have been extremely high in some areas, is essential as everyone works together to address the issue.

Augustian complimented the work of Kewaunee County Land and Water Conservation Department Director Davina Bonness and Kewaunee County Board Member Tim Kinnard for their work trying to address the concerns of Casco residents with their ongoing water concerns. Wednesday's meeting will take place inside the expo hall at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds.
