Safe Well Water? Test to be sure.

In Rhode Island, private well owners are responsible for testing and maintaining the quality of their own well water. To provide residents with information on private well water testing, treatment, and maintenance, water quality experts from URI will hold this free program.

“Workshop participants will learn about substances that can affect well water, why they are a concern, how to arrange for a well water test, and well water treatment options,” said Alyson McCann, with URI Cooperative Extension’s Water Quality Program.

Following the well testing schedule developed by the RI Department of Health, helps private well owners protect their family and identify any potential problems. At this workshop, the presenters will review what to test for and when, where to have the water tested, and discuss some basic well maintenance tips.

URI and RI Dept of Health offer this informational program for private well owners in partnership with the Charlestown Conservation Commission and the Cross Mills Public Library.
