Abandoned Water Well Sealing Demonstration

Do you have a private water well on your property that you no longer use? Did you know that there’s cost share available to seal these wells?

Plan to join us at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, September 4, 2019 to learn about the risks posed by abandoned wells, the necessary steps needed to properly seal one yourself, and how to apply for cost-share assistance. The annual demonstration is being planned with the Knox County Health Department in Knox Township, just one mile west of the Wolf Covered Bridge at 1656 Knox Hwy 17, Gilson. The Knox County SWCD provides 75% cost-share, not to exceed $400 per well. Please contact our office if you have any questions.
