Brunswick County residents whose private drinking water well flooded during the heavy rains from PTC #8 on Monday, Sept. 16, 2024, can get their drinking water tested for free.
Brunswick County Environmental Health will be waiving the normal $50 bacteriological water sample fee for drinking well water testing now through Oct. 4, 2024. The Board of Commissioners unanimously approved waiving these fees during the Sept. 23 regular meeting.
Call Brunswick County Environmental Health at 910-253-2150 to speak to someone about requesting testing of your drinking water well. If your well was flooded, health officials recommend boiling your water before using it, or use bottled water until your drinking water well can be tested.
Please note that fees have not been waived for irrigation wells or wells with no apparent impacts from flooding.
