The Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program and the Michigan Department of Agriculture Groundwater Monitoring Program sponsor domestic well water screenings for several reasons. The screenings are a service to private well owners that they can use to evaluate their exposure to nitrate, nitrite, and atrazine.
The screenings also serve an educational purpose. Well owners taking part in a sample screening learn about local and state groups working to protect groundwater, and they learn about potential sources of groundwater contamination.
For general information on water screenings, contact your local Michigan Groundwater Stewardship Program Technician at your local Conservation District or MSU Extension office.
