Over one million homes and farms in Pennsylvania get their drinking water from a private well or spring. The Safe Drinking Water Clinic is designed for people who manage one of these private drinking water supplies. We’ll cover how to test and protect your well or spring, and when water treatment might make sense. We will also discuss well and spring system inspection and maintenance so you know how to protect your family, your property, and the groundwater we share.
Free water testing is offered at this workshop. Test results are not official but are instead offered to help participants decide how soon they should consider additional testing by a state-accredited laboratory. At a minimum, Penn State recommends testing every 12-14 months for bacteria (total coliform and E. coli bacteria), and every three years for pH and total dissolved solids.
Funding for this event is provided by the Master Well Owner Network grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. This event is being offered at no charge to participants thanks to the Master Well Owner Network grant.
Powdermill Nature Reserve is located at 1795 Route 381, Rector, PA 15677.
