Virginia Cooperative Extension in Richmond County will host a Drinking Water Clinic in the Fall of 2024.
Kit pickup will be Oct. 8, 2024, and sample drop off will be October 9, 2024, and the interpretation meeting will be November 19, 2024 via Zoom. Cost of each kit will be $70.00.
This program offers affordable water testing, interpretation of test results and information about maintenance of private water systems and dealing with water problems. Our local program is part of the Virginia Household Water Quality Program which provides practical information to homeowners about maintaining and protecting private water systems such as wells, spring and cisterns. In the U.S. regular testing and treatment of public water supplies is required, but private water system owners must take care of this themselves. For more information, please visit this website:
