Free Well Water Testing—”We are also pleased to announce our free well water quality testing again this year, a $65 value, for residents of Burleson and Milam counties,” Westbook said. The tests will analyze water for various contaminants, providing a comprehensive understanding of water quality. Residents are encouraged to participate to ensure their water is safe for consumption and intended use.
Sampling kits will be available for pick up and drop off between June 20 and July 3 in three locations: the Burleson Co. AgriLife Extension Service office in Caldwell, the Milam Co. AgriLife Extension Service office in Cameron and the Post Oak Savannah GCD office in Milano. Kits can be picked up and dropped off Monday through Friday between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Each kit will include easy-to-follow instructions to help residents collect their water samples correctly. Samples must be returned to the drop-off locations as soon as possible to ensure accuracy.
For questions about the kits and sampling, contact Gregory Perry, Water Resources Specialist, at gperry@ posgcd.org or 512-455-9900. The results of the water testing will be provided at the Annual Groundwater Summit on July 18 around 3 p.m.
