Environmental Health - Well Water Testing

Public Health subsidizes water testing kits. Sherburne County has high levels of natural lead, fluoride, and nitrite. We recommend that residents test their wells annually for nitrite and bacteria. For infants under 6 months of age, we suggest using filtered, bottled, or distilled water. This is because city water standards are set for adults, not children. A testing kit may be purchased at the Zoning Department.
