The Minnesota Department of Health is offering funding to address private well water quality issues in Shorewood and other municipalities in the state. Arsenic and other contaminants in well water can pose health risks. Levels have been on the rise in drinking water throughout the state. This opportunity to educate private well owners and provide financial assistance for remediation is crucial.
Encouraging the City Council to apply for this funding could significantly benefit the community by making resources available for testing and remediation. Having financial assistance available for eligible households could make a big difference in addressing high levels of contaminants. This grant requires no matching funds from the city.
The safety of private well water is a priority, and taking advantage of opportunities to improve its quality and safeguard your health is essential. Don’t miss out on this chance to voice your support to the City Council and potentially access resources that could enhance the quality of your drinking water.
