Free Water Well Screening

The Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District (LSGCD), in partnership with the Texas Well Owner Network (TWON), will offer complimentary water well screenings for private exempt water wells located in Montgomery County, Texas.

Please note: All groundwater wells in Montgomery County are required to be registered with LSGCD.

Water samples will be screened for contaminants, including:

• Total coliform bacteria
• E. coli
• Nitrate-nitrogen

After registration is complete, participants will receive instructions regarding the screening process, sample collection, sample drop-off date, and drop-off location. Screening results will be provided during the LSGCD Symposium, where Dr. Joel Pigg of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service and TWON coordinator, will lead an educational session titled “Well Informed.” The session will cover water well basics, Water Wells 101, water quality, and an explanation of participants’ sample results.
