Safe Well Water?
(Community Environmental Health Kit)

Is the well water contaminated?

Key Learning Objective: Private well water should be tested regularly for contamination from microorganisms and harmful chemicals.

• Test a simulated water sample from a family’s well.
• Identify health risks and sources of contamination associated with well water.

NOTE: Science Take-Out Community Environmental Health (CEH) kits are simplified versions of our “regular” kits (shortened/modified activities and lower literacy).

CEH kits use hands-on activities to engage diverse community audiences in learning about environmental health issues. The kits also encourage discussions about ways to reduce exposures to environmental health hazards.
