Portage County Offers Free Well Testing and $1500 for RO Treatment

Portage County recently set aside a portion of their American Rescue Plan Act - State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ARPA-SLFRF) for projects to improve access to and provide safe drinking water for Portage County residents. The projects are specifically for testing to identify nitrate-nitrogen concentrations in wells and treatment activities and remediation strategies for wells with nitrate-nitrogen concentrations that exceed the state drinking water standard. The funds are broken up into two separate programs. One program is designed to serve County residents who obtain their drinking water from a private residential well and the other is designed to serve drinking water sources that are categorized as transient non-community drinking water sources by the Wisconsin DNR.
