NORTH PLATTE – The Nebraska Office of Drinking Water and Environmental Health cautions that any well near flooded regions may need to be tested. According to Administrator Jack Daniel, underground seepage can occur and floodwaters can impact a domestic well without any above ground evidence. “Even though you wellhead isn’t under water, if you are near flooded areas, and especially if your well is shallow, meaning less than 50 feet deep, I recommend that you have your water tested to be sure it’s safe,” Daniel said.Water testing kits are available from the Nebraska Public Heath Environmental Laboratory by calling 402-471-3935.
