I have a private well. How do find information about radium levels in my drinking water?

Private wells are not as deep as the aquifers from which the City sources its drinking water, and therefore the water in private wells comes from different ground strata. The City does not have data on radium levels in private wells on properties within the City of IGH. For more information on how you can test your private well water, please visit the Dakota County Water Testing website at: https://www.co.dakota.mn.us/Environment/WaterResources/WellsDrinkingWater/Pages/radium.aspx or the Minnesota Department of Health Well Testing website at: https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/water/wells/waterquality/index.html.
