Plastics are everywhere and can contaminate surface and ground water used for drinking. We will discuss risks to people and the environment and what we can do.
There are several financial assistance programs including grants and low interest loans available to qualifying homeowners for repairs to their private well or septic system. This webinar will discuss those programs.
A septic system provides a valuable service to a home and needs periodic attention or maintenance. This webinar will discuss basic practices to keep your system functioning.
Well water can sometimes have unpleasant issues such as odors, colors or off tastes. We will describe common causes and treatment recommendations.
The negative impacts of deicing salts on the environment, road infrastructure, cars, and home appliances, and drinking water quality can be significant. An overview of these impacts with emphasis on drinking water, and recommendations will be presented.
