BACOG – the Barrington Area Council of Governments – Water Testing Event on October 1, 2024

A large portion of homes within the 52nd District rely on private wells for their household water. It is extremely important for homeowners to test their well water annually for contaminants. Water testing can be done by a private company, or through a County Public Health Department.
