Write your legislators: Private well owners deserve to know if their water may be contaminated

Ask your legislators to support the bill that would help inform local health officials about water contamination.

An estimated 1 in 3 Wisconsin families get their drinking water from a private well. Bacteria, PFAS, nitrate, lead, and arsenic contamination are just a few of the contaminants impacting many of those Wisconsin families, yet many Wisconsinites don’t know about threats to their water. Private well owners deserve to know if their water may be contaminated. 

There’s a solution. Take action now and ask your legislators to support legislation that would protect private well owners’ right to know if their water is contaminated. Please add your personal story to send a stronger message.
