What’s in your drinking water? To participate in this free water screening clinic, bring water from your home tap (minimum of one cup – 8oz) in a clean, hard plastic or glass container and include the location and date that you collected the sample. We will run a screen test on your water for nitrate and chloride. You can wait for your results or request them via email. During the clinic, experts will also be on hand to discuss wellhead protection and groundwater concerns, including arsenic, bacteria, pesticides, and Perfluorinated Alkylated Substances (PFAS). Stop by anytime to pick up fact sheets and talk with clinic volunteers. This clinic is free and open to everyone, regardless of what city, county or state they live in.

Co-sponsors include: East Metro Water Education Program (EMWREP), Lower St. Croix Watershed Partnership, Chisago County, Chisago SWCD, Minnesota Groundwater Association, and the Minnesota Well Owners Organization.
