BARABOO, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — The Department of Natural Resources will be doing free well water testing at the annual Farm Technology Days.
DNR Staff will be offering up free nitrate testing for anyone with a private well.
Experts say many private well owners have never tested their well water, or haven’t had a test for nitrates. Those chemicals have leeched into the groundwater in many parts of the state, mostly due to agricultural run-off and fertilizers getting into farm wells.
All you have to do is bring a cup of your water to the DNR booth and they’ll do the rest.
Farm Tech Days runs July 18 to 20 in Baraboo.
