This event is for Texas residents who depend on household wells for their water needs. Well owners who want to become familiar with Texas’ groundwater resources, septic system maintenance, well maintenance and construction, water quality and water treatment will benefit from this training.
Participants can have their water well samples screened for $15, with payment due when samples are turned in at the training.
We invite private well owners to bring in a water sample to be screened for nitrate, total dissolved solids, arsenic and bacteria. Well owners who would like to have their well water sampled can pick up the two sample containers – one bag and one bottle – at Parker, Hood, Wise, Johnson, Palo Pinto and Jack County AgriLife Extension offices. They can also be obtained at the Upper Trinity Groundwater Conservation District office, 1250 E. Highway 199 in Springtown.
After filling each bottle and bag with a sample from their well, participants should bring the two samples to the Oct. 2 training.
