Nitrate Clinics

The Wadena SWCD offers free nitrate testing at our clinics (results while you wait). Bring at least one-half cup of water in either a clean plastic or glass container or Ziploc-type bag to the nitrate testing clinic. To get a good sample, allow the water to run 5 to 10 minutes before filling the container.


Our next Nitrate Testing Clinic will be July 30th, 2022 at Redeye River Days in Sebeka from 10 am - 1 pm at the Sebeka Town Square.

If you are interested in testing your water for bacteria, arsenic, lead, fluoride or other contaminants, we have a list of local labs that have that service available for a fee.
