Pender County Department of Health and Human Services and Northeastern University are offering free well water testing to private well users. Water samples will be analyzed for coliform bacteria and metals (e.g., lead, arsenic). Any resident with a private well is eligible to participate. You do not have to live in the communities where pick up locations are available.

Test kits will be distributed at locations and dates specified below. There are a limited number of kits, so they will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Detailed sampling instructions will be provided. Water quality results will be emailed and mailed to residents. Residents will also receive a $10 gift card for their participation. 

If you have questions about participating, please contact Kyla Drewry at drewry.k@northeastern.edu or 203-725-4012.
