Manitowoc County is holding a free nitrate screening for private well owners during the Manitowoc County Fair.
This screening is sponsored by Manitowoc County Soil and Water Conservation and the Manitowoc County Association for Home & Community Education.
Nitrates are one of the most common contaminants in drinking water and are also a leading indicator of other possible contaminants.
All well owners should have a nitrate screening done annually.
To take advantage of the free screening, bring a water sample (approximately ½ cup) from your home in a clean bottle to the Manitowoc County Soil and Water booth in the Merchant’s Building during the County fair Wednesday, August 25 through August 28th, 10:00 am to 10:00 pm. and Sunday, August 29th from 10:00 am – 6:00 pm.
The screening will be completed while you wait or you can leave a sample at the booth and pick up the results later.
