MORAINE – Every participant in the Test Your Water Event will receive a free nitrate and iron screen, courtesy of the Miami Conservancy District.

In addition to testing for nitrate and iron, the first 50 participants will receive a free, confidential lead, arsenic, and copper test.

Residents are asked to fill a 16.9oz water bottle for screenings. If testing for lead, take the sample after 6 hours of non-use or first draw in the morning.
