Well testing being offered in Montague County
The “Well Informed” Texas Well Owner Network program is an educational program that 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.
This testing program will be available in Montague County this month. Persons who wish to test may pick up containers from the Montague County Texas Agrilife Extension Office County
Agent, prior to Sept. 26. Call ahead to make sure they have containers ready for pick-up.
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.
