We are excited to announce a new fall workshop series that will occur online and split over the course of three weeks:

Workshop 1:

Getting to know your well

October 22, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.

Topics covered: Groundwater 101, How Your Well Works and Understanding your Drilling Report/Draw Your Well 

Workshop 2:

Maintaining and managing your well

October 29, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.

Topics covered: Common Well Programs, Identifying Contamination Risks and Shock Chlorination

Workshop 3:

Sampling, testing and treating well water

November 5, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.

Water well owners can choose to attend all three workshops, or the workshop that they feel is most applicable to their needs. We are encouraging people to attend live as they will be able to ask their questions directly to the subject matter experts; however, we will be posting the recording online in the event that someone is unable to attend the workshop. 

We also have plenty of informational materials online for well owners to access that we encourage you to direct them to if they are reaching out with questions.
