Well Water Testing in Douglas County for Tribal Members

Cow Creek Tribal members have the opportunity to participate in a well water quality testing project, thanks to recent funding from the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board.

This is a pilot project for Tribal members living in Douglas County who utilize private wells or spring-fed water sources on their property. As of now, participation is not available for anyone living outside Douglas County.

Testing will be conducted by Umpqua Research Labs.

To participate in this project, please contact Cow Creek Public Health at (541) 677-5535 and mention well water testing.
