The Eau Claire City-County Health Department is offering discounts on tests of water samples from private wells in the county as part of a national effort to encourage annual water well testing and maintenance.
The discounts are being offered in response to the designation of Sept. 1 as “Protect Your Groundwater Day,” according to a Health Department press release. The annual observance highlights the responsible development, management and use of groundwater, and serves as a platform to stress the need for yearly well tests.
Water sample bottles are available from the Health Department and may be returned there for testing. Discounts of $6 each are available for nitrate and bacteria tests for private well samples that are taken to the health department by the end of the day on Friday (Sept. 11).
