Household Water Testing Clinic for Hanover County Residents
Water testing and information about water quality and well maintenance will be offered this spring to Hanover County homeowners through the Virginia Cooperative Extension Household Water Quality Program. Hanover County residents with private water systems will have access to affordable water testing, help interpreting their water test results and information about treatment options.
Participants attend an evening Kickoff Meeting, sample their water within two days, take their samples to a collection point, have the samples analyzed at Virginia Tech and then attend an Interpretation Meeting where the water test results are explained and information provided about treatment options.
Additional details, including the dates, times and locations of the water testing clinics can be found at the following link: Hanover Well Water Clinic
