The Private Well Stewardship Program is an educational program offered through Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. "The Private Well Stewardship Program helps Iowa’s 230,000 private well owners to learn about the responsibilities and risks of being a private well owner and connect them to local experts to manage their well,” said Catherine DeLong, water quality program manager with ISU Extension and Outreach. "Many private well owners in Iowa don't know that there is funding available in every county to help test their well annually. Iowa is unique in covering this cost; we just need more people to take advantage."
An event will be held on September 26th from 6-7 pm in Winneshiek County at the ISU Extension and Outreach Winneshiek County office 2316 Sweet, Parkway Road, Decorah. Register by contacting Alexandria McIntyre, at alliemc@iastate.edu or 563-382-2949. There is no deadline for registration and no cost to attend.
