Join Pine SWCD for a free water screening clinic on at the Rutledge Community Center in Willow River.

How do you participate? Bring at least one cup (16 oz) of your drinking water from your home tap in a clean, hard plastic or glass container. Onsite screening will test for nitrates and chloride, and you can wait for your results or have them emailed.

Hydrogeologists from the Minnesota Groundwater Association and Minnesota Well Owners Organization will also be on hand to offer private 5- 10 minute consultations. They can help you understand your test results, advise on additional testing for contaminants like arsenic, manganese, or bacteria, and answer questions about your well operation, maintenance, and water safety.
