November 7, 2024

Keeping Your Private Well Water Safe A new learning opportunity from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach

 The Mahaska and Poweshiek County Extension offices will host a free, one-hour learning session for private well owners on Thursday, November 7. The program will help attendees understand their well’s water quality and connect them to resources to manage their well.

Registration is requested by November 4. Click here to register online. You can also contact the Mahaska County Ext. Office at the phone or email below. 

Did you know that Iowa has a unique funding source for free or low-cost annual testing of private wells? Or that some water pollutants are odorless, tasteless and will not be removed by boiling water? If you’re curious about the answers to these questions, then take advantage of the upcoming learning session which will detail how to test your well and who can help, common contaminants, and factors that affect well water quality.

The program will be taught by Catherine DeLong, Water Quality Program Manager for ISU Extension and Outreach. According to DeLong, “About 230,000 Iowans rely on private wells as their home’s main water source, yet many do not know they should be testing once a year and that Iowa has a unique funding source to help cover the cost of testing.”
