Drinking Water Education and Testing Campaign

In March 2019, we will be conducting our first ever Drinking Water Education and Testing Campaign. Current 2019 plans include reduced rates for CSP supporters wishing to test their private well in Crawford County and education programs to explore groundwater basics, to interpret drinking water test results, and to discuss appropriate drinking water treatment options, if needed!

Crawford Stewardship Project will be covering 80% of costs associated with recommended well tests for the first 50 supporters to register.

Contact Program Coordinator Forest Jahnke (608-632-2183 or fjahnke@crawfordstewardship.org) to sign up!
