Driftless Area Water Study to reveal regional well testing results

DRIFTLESS - Following the successful testing of 351 private wells this March, the Driftless Area Water Study (DAWS) is inviting the public to a series of educational events this June. These sessions will provide a look at regional groundwater health and offer residents professional guidance on protecting their drinking water.

Events are free and open to everyone, regardless of whether you participated in the study.
