Penn State Extension is hosting 2 Home Water And Septic System Workshops on March 18 in Nazareth, Northampton County, one starting at 1:30 and another at 6:00.

This workshop will provide information on protecting, testing, and treating private water supplies.

Extension educators will also discuss septic system inspection and maintenance. Learn how to protect your family, your property, and our shared ground and surface water resources.

Free water testing is frequently offered to a limited number of households at each workshop.  Screening may include coliform bacteria, E. coli, pH, total dissolved solids, and nitrate and is usually provided for up to 30 households who first register at each location.

Results from simple tests can help guide you in future testing by accredited labs. Sample collection instructions will be provided after you register.

The workshops will be held at the Gracedale Nursing Home Conference Room, 2 Gracedale Ave., Nazareth, Northampton County.

Support for these workshops is provided by the Master Well Owner Network grant from the Department of Environmental Protection and the PA Ground Water Association.
