Free Water Testing and Well Owner Workshop Coming February 2 & 3
Private well owners in Bastrop and Lee Counties are invited to participate in a Texas Well Owners Network (TWON) Water Testing and Workshop event hosted by the Lost Pines Groundwater Conservation District in collaboration with Lee County AgriLife Extension, Bastrop County AgriLife Extension, and the Middle Yegua Creek Watershed Protection Working Group.
This two-day event offers free well water quality testing followed by educational workshops designed to help private well owners better understand their wells and protect their groundwater.
On Monday, February 2, 2026, well owners may drop off water samples between 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. at either the Bastrop County AgriLife Extension Office or the Lee County AgriLife Extension Office. Submitted samples will be analyzed for common water quality indicators, giving participants valuable insight into the condition of their well water
Educational TWON workshops will be held on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, with two opportunities to attend:
- 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at Bastrop County AgriLife Extension
- 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Lee County AgriLife Extension
During the workshops, participants will learn how to interpret their water test results, understand common groundwater and well issues in the region, and explore best practices for well maintenance and water protection.
Whether you have relied on a private well for decades or are a new well owner, this event offers practical information you can use right away to protect your health and your water supply.
