The East Metro Water Resources Education Program is collaborating with Minnesota Well Owners’ Association and Minnesota Groundwater Association to hold a FREE well water screening clinic for private well owners in North Branch, Chisago County.

To participate,  bring drinking water from your home in a clean, hard plastic or glass container (minimum of one cup (8oz) of water). Include the location and date that you collected the sample. You can wait for your results or request them via email.

At these clinics, we will be testing for nitrate and chloride. There will also be clinic volunteers on hand to talk to people about their wells, maintenance, and concerns. All participants will receive a take-home packet with info about abandoned wells, arsenic, bacteria, nitrate, pesticides, and managing your well to reduce risk of contamination.
