UW-Oshkosh Offers Well Testing

Door County residents with private wells are encouraged to participate in a groundwater-study program that UW-Oshkosh has been conducting since 2019. The program’s goals are to provide education about the importance of testing well water and build a database of Door County groundwater-quality data. 

The testing parameters included in the study are bacteria (total coliforms/E. coli [quantification]) and nitrate for $30 for the first 300 registrants. Participants will also have the option to add arsenic and cumulative tests (pH, hardness, alkalinity and iron) for an additional $25. 

Register to participate by filling out the form at uwo.sh/doorco-wells-spring23 by March 24. Find out more by contacting Carmen Ebert at [email protected] or 920.424.3148.
