Nitrate in Drinking Water: Public & Private (Webinar)
Join us for a discussion about the presence of nitrate in drinking water, the associated risks, and the removal process. We’ll hear from Jeff Mitchell, Lab Supervisor for Des Moines Water Works, about the role public water utilities play in nitrate removal. Jesse Campbell, Private Well Coordinator for the Midwest Assistance Program, will share information about the presence of nitrate in groundwater and the challenges faced by private well users in avoiding nitrate contamination.
Your kit will include a bottle containing 25 nitrate test strips which you can use to test your water source(s) throughout the year. You’ll also receive postcards explaining how to use your nitrate test strips and how to share your Nitrate Watch results on the Clean Water Hub.
Your kit will include four test strips so you can test your waterway throughout the season. You’ll also receive a chart to help you interpret your results and a postcard with instructions for completing a Salt Watch test and reporting your findings.
