2026 Sauk County Well Water Testing Program

Residents living in the townships LaValle, Woodland, and Ironton of will have an opportunity to participate in a Well Water Program in the summer of 2026. 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, June19th from 4pm-6pm or on Saturday, June 20 from 9 am-11am.
• 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 $161.
• Fill your water bottle(s) on Monday, June 22nd – NOT BEFORE and keep it refrigerated!
• Return your water bottle to your Town Hall on Monday, June 22nd from 7am- 9am or 4pm- 6pm.
• Water test results will be returned and discussed at an educational program at the LaValle Town Hall on Wednesday, August 5th.  Registration begins at 5:30 PM; the program will start at 6:00 PM and conclude by 7:30 PM.
