DNR Offers Free Well Water Testing at Wisconsin Farm Technology Days

Friday, July 7th, 2023 -- 8:02 AM

(Raymond Neupert, 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.
