Estimate: 20% of private Nebraska water wells are contaminated
May 7, 2009

The suspected contaminants include arsenic, uranium, nitrates, and bacteria. While the first three are beyond the purview of most individual treatment units, bacteria can be killed quite easily with chlorination tablets and ultraviolet disinfection systems. Considering that almost a fifth of all Nebraskans get their water from private wells, the safety of that water is an important public-health issue.
