Are you on a well? The Lake County Health Department is offering a reduced well water testing fee for homeowners who use well water as their primary source of drinking water. Between March 11 and March 22, 2019, the normal $18.00 fee for testing for bacteria and nitrates will be reduced to $12.00.
Private well owners are encouraged to do annual water testing and well maintenance to help protect their families from waterborne illness.
Sterile test bottles and sampling instructions are available at Fremont Township. Please call us at 847 223-2847 before you come to make sure we have them.
All collected water samples must be brought to the Lake County Central Permit Facility between 8:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Results of water samples are ready for homeowners in approximately three business days. Residents also have the option to pay $59.00 to have a Health Department staff member visit their home to collect the sample, inspect the well, and provide the lab analysis for bacteria and nitrates.
For further information on water testing, contact the Health Department at (847) 377-8020.
