Town of Empire residents tested their water in October 2018. Results were normal for the area, with 11 wells (15%) having higher nitrates, and no wells with elevated levels of pesticide components (atrazine) or arsenic.

Here is the results presentation, (PDF, 4MB) including maps, guidance on how to treat contamination, and then prevent it from reoccurring.

When it is time to sample your water again, see Well Water Sampling Labs and Directions.
