溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Water Quality Program is offering a free presentation on well water quality on July 9 at the Cross\u2019 Mills Public Library in Charlestown.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

According to Shirley Griffin, vice chair of the Charlestown Conservation Commission:  \u201cThe Charlestown Conservation Commission considers our water quality to be of the utmost importance to homeowners throughout Charlestown, as well as our neighboring towns.  Charlestown is completely reliant on well water, and therefore, the care we take of our well water not only affects our own health but those of our neighbors, ponds and ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorkshop participants will learn about substances that can affect well water, why they are a concern, how to arrange for a well water test, and well water treatment options,\u201d says McCann. \u201cFollowing the well testing schedule developed by the Rhode Island Department of Health helps private well owners protect their families and identify any potential problems. We will review what to test for and when, where to have the water tested, and discuss some basic well maintenance tips.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
