Pick up your containers for water well testing
There is still time to pick up your containers to take part in the water well testing program this month in Montague County.
The “Well Informed” Texas Well Owner Network program gives well owners the opportunity to have their well water samples screened for common contaminants including: Fecal coliform, E. coli bacteria, nitrates and high salinity. It is recommended owners of water wells have the quality of their water tested annually.
Containers are available at the county extension agent’s office in the courthouse at Montague and must be picked up before Sept. 26. Call ahead at 894-2831 to reserve a container.
Well owners will drop off the containers from 8:30 – 10 a.m. only on the morning of Sept. 26 at the Montague County Annex Community Room.
County Agent Justin Hansard said the results and interpretation of screening the water samples is followed by a one-hour explanation of well results at 6 p.m. on Sept. 27 in the community room.
For more information call or email the agent’s office at 940-894-2831 or email j-hansard@tamu.edu.
Members of the Bowie Independent School District Board of Trustees will meet at 5:30 p.m. on June 16.
