NEWPORT, Ind. –  The Vermillion County Soil and Water Conservation District wants to help you make sure that your well water is safe.

There could be many things in your water that you might not know about, like bacteria, high levels of nitrates or unwanted metals all of which can be bad for you.

The county runs tests on well water but a new program will let you test your water yourself.

Starting July 1, they’ll be offering at-home kits.

You can pick the kits up from the Soil and Water Conservation District Office or in the Vermillion County Public Library in Newport.
