March 9 to 13 is National Groundwater Awareness Week
Groundwater is part of Weld County residents’ everyday life and WCDPHE helps protect public health by supporting water testing, safe waste disposal, and strong environmental health standards. Private wells aren’t regulated like public water systems — well owners are responsible for monitoring their water quality. The Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment laboratory provides water testing services including a free Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) screening for Weld County residents whose main drinking water source is well water. For information or assistance, call (970) 400-2278.
