Well owners encouraged to test systems during Protect Your Groundwater Day on Sept. 10

Kieran Fitzgearld of EW Technologies joins the Water Quality Association (WQA) and the National Groundwater Association (NWGA) in encouraging the citizens of (state or city or county) to protect public health and the health of the environment by protecting groundwater beginning on Protect Your Groundwater Day, September 10.

“It is crucial for well owners to test their water regularly to ensure its quality,” said Kieran Fitzgearld .

Nationally, almost 45 percent of the population regularly depends on groundwater for its drinking supply. 1000s of irish residents are served by privately owned individual wells.

For household water well owners, how they manage their well systems and property can make a difference in their water quality. People who do not use household wells also can make a difference in groundwater quality, for instance, by how they store, use, and dispose of hazardous household substances, or how well they maintain their septic systems.

WQA offers certification for trained professionals to help give consumers confidence about the knowledge of local dealers, through “Find A Water Professional” at wqa.org.

Additionally, the Gold Seal on a product means it has been tested and certified for effectiveness. WQA uses independent standards established by NSF International/American National Standards Institute

(NSF/ANSI). Products that have passed testing can be found at wqa.org.
