Free well water testing

submitted by John Scaramucci, Washtenaw County Conservation District

The Washtenaw County Conservation District and students from Eastern Michigan University will be testing well water samples on Saturday, October 5, from 9am to 3pm, at Room 2304, 705 N Zeeb Rd. Some of the tests that will be run include nitrate/nitrite, pH, turbidity, and more. This event is for those who are interested in getting their private wells tested (cities regularly test their drinking water). We suggest that samples be at least 8 ounces and fewer than 48 hours old. Further water sampling instructions can be found at www.washtenawcd.org, and for questions or more information, contact Paul Buzzard at Paul@washtenawcd.org or by calling (734) 302-8715.
