The Land Management Office offers water testing for a number of different parameters through a number of sources. Bacteria and nitrates are the two items most commonly sampled for in private wells.

Sanitized bacteria sampling bottles can be purchased from the Land Management Office for $15 and the bacteria sample can be mailed or delivered to the Eau Claire City-County Health Department for analysis.

Nitrate testing is done in the Land Management Office at no cost. Samples should be brought into the office during business hours in a small clean container (baby food size container).

Other private water well sampling resources are available through the Land Management Office.

Advice is provided on identifying and correcting drinking water quality problems.
