In honor of Safe Drinking Water Month, McHenry County Dept. of Health (MCDH) will offer reduced fee water testing for individual well water users for the entire month of August. Residents can have their well water sampled for coliform bacteria and nitrate for $18.
Testing your well regularly is the only way to determine whether well water is safe to drink as many contaminants are colorless and odorless. Water from a public or municipal water system is regularly tested for contaminants regulated by Federal and state standards.
Sampling kits can be picked up at the MCDH in Woodstock or at one of eight drop-off centers. For more information, contact the MCDH's Environmental Health Division at 815-334-4585 or visit
