Todd County Planning and Zoning, in partnership with Todd Soil and Water Conservation District and Todd County Public Health, has received grant funding for testing of drinking water. The grant program focuses on households that have water supplied from private wells.
Water test kits are available to landowners to pick up at the Planning and Zoning Office. Testing instructions are provided in the sample kit along with a link to a video format to assist with taking the sample. The sample kit provides four sample bottles that test for five impairments that are common in drinking water. The impairments consist of nitrates, bacteria, arsenic, manganese, and lead.
Sample kits will be provided free of charge to county residents that are connected to a private well. Water tests should be taken from the primary drinking water source within the house. One sample kit per household is allowed.
Additional cost sharing may be available to low income families if the sample shows impairments in excess of the drinking water standard.
If you would like to test your drinking water, call 320-732-4420 or stop in at the Planning and Zoning Office for additional information.
