The Eau Claire City-County Health Department is making it easier to check your well water.
Through September 15th, the Health Department will be offering discounted or free well water tests. Nitrate and bacteria tests will both be discounted by six dollars for everyone. If a home with a private well has a pregnant woman or a child younger than one-year-old living there, water testing can be done for free. The Health Department says homeowners with private wells should be testing their water at least once every 15 months.
