Free Water Testing May 13
A free water event on Saturday, May 13 from 10am to 1pm will feature water testing, photo contest voting and the We Are Water MN interactive exhibit. Free well water nitrate testing will be available on the spot (no appointment/registration needed) and results are usually available within 5 minutes. For details on how to prepare a water sample to bring to the event, please visit happydancingturtle.org/waw. The Minnesota Department of Health recommends private well owners test for nitrates every other year. If test results show a high level of nitrates, information will also be available for next steps.
The We Are Water MN traveling exhibit is located the Hunt Utilities Group Resilient Living Campus in Pine River through June 17. Weekly exhibit hours can be found at happydancingturtle.org/waw. Visitors to the We Are Water MN exhibit learn about water issues statewide and in their community. They also reflect on local stories and the meaning and experiences of water in Minnesota with space to add their own stories. Combining learning and sharing in this way strengthens Minnesotans’ relationships with water and increases participation in water stewardship activities.
We are Water MN is funded in part with money from the Clean Water, Land, & Legacy Fund that was created with the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008 and by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
