LCD to hold well and spring water testing day Sept. 18

The Lincoln Conservation District (LCD) is holding a well and spring water testing day for southern Lincoln County rural residents to help you make sure the water you are using is safe and healthy.

Group 1 will be “Human Consumption” to test for conductivity, sulfate, total hardness, nitrate, nitrite, sodium, total dissolved solids, pH, fluoride, chloride, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, bicarbonate and carbonate. The “Human Consumption” test cost is $151; however, the LCD will pay 50% of this cost, making your total cost $75.50. The Coliform Bacteria and E. Coli presence/absence test is also offered at a cost of $48; the LCD will pay 100% of this cost if you choose to do just the bacteria test.
