Penn State Extension will host two workshops on How To Protect Your Springs, Wells And Cisterns on November 5 at the Terre Hill Community Center, 131 West Main Street in Terre Hill, Lancaster County at 2:00 to 4:00  and 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

Wells and springs supply water to over 1,000,000 farms and homes in Pennsylvania, mostly in suburban and rural areas. Many residents also use on-lot septic systems to treat and dispose of wastewater.

This workshop will provide information on protecting, testing, and treating private water supplies.

Presenters will also discuss septic system inspection and maintenance. Learn how to protect your family, your property, and our shared ground and surface water resources.

The first 30 households to register for each workshop will receive free drinking water testing.  Select a workshop location above, and then look for the Instructors tab for information on who to call or email to confirm if water sample testing will take place at that workshop.

Support for these workshops is provided by the Penn State Extension Master Well Owner Network grant from Department of Environmental Protection and the PA Ground Water Association.
