GALLATIN MEDIA CENTER
The Gallatin Local Water
Quality District will be conducting well awareness courses designed to educate
private well owners on best practices for protecting their drinking water.
Homeowners will learn how to
conduct an assessment of their well’s condition, identify potential containment
sources and discuss factors that can affect their water quality. Proper septic
system maintenance and potential impacts on groundwater will be discussed along
with how to test your drinking water and what to test for.
Informational packets and well
assessment forms will be provided. Once participants have conducted their own
assessment, GLWQD staff will follow up after the course to provide
recommendations. The courses are held in April.
