The newest fund of the Door County Community Foundation was launched Thursday and will soon be rolling out a free well-testing program for Door County residents. “Healthy Water Door County” a fund of the foundation based in Sturgeon Bay, was created because Door County’s unique geography makes the water system vulnerable. The new fund has awarded a grant to the Environmental Research and Innovation Center at the University of Wisconsin/Oshkosh to conduct a county-wide well-monitoring program during the weekend of June 5th and 6th and June 12th and 13th. The grant should provide free test kits to virtually any Door County property owner or resident who would like one. The hope is that the program will be the start of a long-term initiative to promote high quality water while providing a convenient way for Door County residents to monitor well water.
