The entire GU Well Water Team hopes everyone had a great and relaxing Christmas and New Year! With that being said, is 2019 the year you finally get your well tested? Or maybe you’re due for a check-up to see if your water quality has changed?

We are super excited to announce that we will be participating in the Trenton Fest 2018 parade! If you are from the Clinton County area come out and get some information on how you, or your loved ones, can get their well water tested.

If you live in the Bond County area and have a well, make sure to come to our kickoff meeting on October 1st at the Bond County Health Department! We will be handing out testing kits and going over the instructions for collecting samples! We can't wait to see everyone there!

If you have a well, your water may have some of these contaminants in it. Is your water safe for you and your family?

08/01/2018

Contaminants can get into your drinking water a number of ways, do you know what's in your water?

Think about how much water you use in a day for cooking or drinking, do you know what's in it? Is it safe for your family to be drinking?

Well Water Quality Analysis

We began this project in June 2017, getting our motivation from the Flint Michigan water crisis. After further research, we realized wells are not regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Private well owners are solely responsible for their well maintenance and its water quality but are often unaware of the factors affecting these important issues. Many well owners do not regularly test their water and therefore may be unknowingly washing, cooking with, and drinking contaminated water that could present a health concern. We believe there is a greater need for us focusing on well water quality, and have made that the focus of this project.

We are analyzing wells for the concentrations of metals, including lead, arsenic, and iron; as well as a microbial analysis, a total dissolved solids analysis, and an analysis of the well’s nitrate concentration. These components are all very important when evaluating the quality of the drinking water, and all tests are approved by the EPA.

If you, or anyone you know has a well, we would love to test it! Please do like and share our page as our goal is to help as many people in Southern Illinois as possible!

The cost of analysis is $20 per kit, all results are confidential and will be reported to participants.
