Kewaunee County opens registration for well testing

You are encouraged to sign up for Kewaunee County's latest round of well testing. In January, UW-Stevens Point groundwater education specialist Kevin Masarik shared with the Kewaunee County Land and Water Conservation Committee his findings of a study that showed many residents have nitrate levels in their water above the state average despite improvements in recent years. His data came from Kewaunee County's latest round of testing in October. At the committee's meeting earlier this month, Land and Water Conservation Department Director Davina Bonness said they would still have the program despite not having the funding to make it free as it has been in recent rounds.


Thanks to community donations, you can purchase a homeowner kit that tests for bacteria, nitrates, alkalinity, and chlorides for $30. The test date is May 13th, and you have until May 10th to register.
