Homeowners in Door and Kewaunee counties will have opportunities to have their well water tested to ensure its safety. In Kewaunee County, water samples may go to several locations in hopes of boosting participation in the name of cost savings. The county offered a price break on testing in May, but it was not free like in previous iterations. As a result, only 105 samples were collected, with more than a third coming from the Town of Lincoln. Kewaunee County Land and Water Conservation Director Davina Bonness said during this month's Land and Water Conservation Committee meeting that she is working with the Environmental Protection Agency and UW-Stevens Point on the fall testing that will require more moving parts but a lower price for homeowners.

The next well-testing date in Kewaunee County is October 21st, with registration opening on September 3rd. The cost will be $10 and you can learn more about it by clicking on this link. In Door County, homeowners can work with UW-Oshkosh and their well-monitoring program. The university has worked with Door County residents through the program since 2019. Registration is open now through October 4th to participate in the test that needs to be returned on October 18th or 19th. You'll be able to learn more about that program below.
