The Jackson County Conservation District will be screening drinking water well samples for nitrates on August 27th at the Conservation District office between 10:00am to 2:00pm. Samples can be brought into the office at 211 W. Ganson St., Suite 200.

The screening is free to anyone who uses a personal private well for drinking water. Simply collect a sample following the steps below and complete the Sample Information Sheet attached here.

Please do not bring samples from public water supplies or non-drinking water sources. Only drinking water well samples will be tested. You do not have to use a special bottle for this screening. Any small clean jar will work—one ounce of water is enough.
