Community Groundwater Testing Program 2020
The Discovery Center and Town of Manitowish Waters partnered for a drinking water testing program in the fall of 2020. Over 60 homeowners had their well water tested at the University of Steven’s Point. In the links below, you will find results of the water tests.
