2019 Sauk County Well Water Testing Program

Residents living in the townships of Ironton, LaValle, and Woodland will have an opportunity to participate in a Well Water Program in the summer of 2019. Participants will learn about their well water quality and quantity, and what actions they take to protect Sauk County’s groundwater. If you are a homeowner with a private well, it is important that you get your water tested once a year. Groundwater is constantly moving, so a water sample taken today may have different results than a sample taken a year ago. GET INVOLVED and find out what you and your family are drinking.

Directions:

• Pick up a water bottle at your Town Hall on Friday, July 12th from 4 pm to 6 pm or on Saturday, July 13th from 9 am to 11 am.
• Pay your testing fees when you pick up the bottle. Please make your checks out to Extension Sauk County.  SPECIAL NOTE:  If you purchase all three tests, there is a reduced price of $123.
• Fill your water bottle on set date (Monday, July 15th) – NOT BEFORE and keep it refrigerated!
• Return your water bottle to your Town Hall on Monday, July 15th from 7 am to 9 am or 4 pm to 6 pm.
• Water test results will be returned and discussed at an educational program at the LaValle Town Hall on Wednesday, August 14th.  Registration begins at 5:45 PM; the program will start at 6:00 PM and conclude by 7:30 PM.
