📰 News we're reading

• Some Oregon wells have elevated arsenic, even when the water looks and tastes normal (thecooldown.com) — Elevated arsenic found in wells east of Sutherlin is a reminder that clear, normal-tasting water can still need testing. Oregon recommends annual bacteria and nitrate checks and arsenic testing every three to five years. Douglas County well owners can contact Umpqua Research Company in Myrtle Creek at 541-863-5201 about testing.
