The program will be taught by Catherine DeLong, Water Quality Program Manager for ISU Extension and Outreach. According to DeLong, "About 230,000 Iowans rely on private wells as their home's main water source, yet many do not know they should be testing once a year and that Iowa has a unique funding source to help cover the cost of testing."

The Private Well Stewardship Program is an educational program offered through Iowa State University Extension and Outreach in which private well owners learn about the responsibilities and risks of being a private well owner and are connected to additional resources to manage their well.

This work is supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Project No. IOW05570.
