Well Details
Well Concerns
Annual well water testing for nitrates revealed an elevated level for the Q2 2017 test. As a result, MCDS is required to test for nitrates on a quarterly basis moving forward. Wisconsin DNR mandates well replacement when the nitrate level reaches 10 mg/L. The current projection for well replacement is:

Current Testing Frequency
- Coliform Bacteria: Every 3 months
- Nitrates: Every 3 months
- Lead & Copper: Every 3 years, except we are on an accelerated schedule due to high test result in 2020 from one source (LS Music Drinking Fountain)
- Inorganics & Volatile Organics: Every 3 years-next test in 2022
- Synthetic Organics: Every 6 years-next test in 2025

Lead & Copper**
The lead & copper test results from this testing period triggered additional testing due to an elevated lead level in the LS Music Room drinking fountain. This may be a result of a newly installed drinking fountain. MCDS was required to complete a Water Quality Parameters (WQP) set of two tests and submit a Corrosion Control Treatment worksheet to WI DNR prior to 3/31/21.
