NC Focus: Testing Your Well Water

Do you know what’s in your well water? Many groundwater contaminants cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted, and testing your well water is the only way to detect their presence. Alec Janis, Visiting Educator at UConn Extension from the Connecticut Institute of Water Resources, will talk about why testing is advised, what contaminants are problematic, and how to choose maintenance that is effective but not excessive. This program is being sponsored by the New Canaan Conservation Commission, which will hold a mobile water testing service in May.  

The NC Focus series provides information on local issues by municipal leaders and is co-sponsored by the New Canaan League of Women Voters.
