SPRING IS A GOOD TIME TO TEST WELL WATER

REGISTRATION OPENS MAY 2, 2016

Groundwater is vital to all of us living in Wisconsin, and the coming of spring represents an important time for our groundwater resources.  This time of year is especially critical for individuals who rely on well water or a private well for their drinking water supply.  While all groundwater originates as precipitation, melting snow and spring rains generally provide the largest contribution of groundwater www.massagemetro.com/shop/synthroid/ recharge to our aquifers each year.  Because recharge during this time can occur rapidly, bacterial contamination of wells often occurs during these periods of the year.  This is especially true for wells located in karst regions, areas where soil layers are thin or absent and bedrock is highly fractured.  Some well owners may actually notice their well water change appearance or odor after large rain events or snowmelts.
