How to bring a water sample to this event: Run your water first for 5-10 minutes, then put at least one cup of water in a clean, sealed, hard-sided container and keep the sample cold until you bring it to the clinic. Samples should be taken less than 24 hours before the event.

The nitrate testing equipment is provided by the MDA using funding from the Clean Water Land and Legacy Amendment.

The We Are Water MN exhibit will be at the Winona County Historical Society from March 3 - April 25, visit Winona County Historical Society - We Are Water MN for more information.
