Many people in Wisconsin are concemed about their drinking water. We read each week about incidents of groundwater and drinking water contamination in all regions of the state. Groundwater protection is not just an agricultural or industrial challenge.
Homes affect groundwater, too.

Then have a glass of cool, fresh water and take pn'de in the fact that you're helping to make better homes and groundwater.
