The Washtenaw County Conservation District and students from Eastern Michigan University will be testing well water samples on Saturday, Oct. 5 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Room 2304, 705 North Zeeb Rod.

Some of the tests that will be run include nitrate/nitrite, pH, turbidity and more.

This event is for those who are interested in getting their private wells tested (cities regularly test their drinking water). We suggest samples be at least 8 ounces and less than 48 hours old. Further water sampling instructions can be found at www.washtenawcd.org, and for questions or more information, contact Paul Buzzard at Paul@washtenawcd.org or by calling (734) 302-8713
