You could be one of up to 300 participants in free testing to make sure your well water is healthy in Kewaunee County. As part of a comprehensive study on groundwater quality, the Kewaunee County Land & Water Conservation Department (LWCD) will collect well water samples later this month. The water samples will be picked up on October 20th and 21st, with testing performed on October 24. Kewaunee County Conservationist Davina Bonness says the study of nitrate and bacteriological contamination will help determine the progress made and identify any additional resources that can be provided to property owners. She notes that improvement has been made in the past few years.
You can register for the free well testing by contacting Davina Bonness with the Kewaunee County LWCD at 920-845-9743 or email bonness.davina@kewauneeco.org. The Wisconsin Coastal Management Program and Peninsula Pride Farms are helping to fund the free well testing.
