News » DNR urges people to test well water annually

Mar. 9, 2010
A staffer for the DNR says people need to test their private wells every year.

Drinking water program supervisor Steve Ales says a study by UW-Madison researchers found that only 11 percent actually test their water annually.

Ales says there are as many as 1 million private wells in the state.

Ales says most people probably take their water for granted. He says they need to watch out for bacteria and high nitrate levels.
