Landowners sought for water study

Researchers at the University of Montana’s Flathead Lake Biological Station are seeking Kalispell area landowners to participate in a scientific study to determine the presence of shallow groundwater contaminants in residential drinking-water wells.

Study participants should have both drinking-water wells and septic systems. Thousands of dollars’ worth of drinking-water analysis will be performed for free, and researchers will provide a report for each participant.

Those interested in participating should call researcher Tyler Tappenbeck at 406-982-3301, extension 222, e-mail tyler.tappenbeck@umontana.edu; or mail 32125 Bio Station Lane, Polson, MT 59860-6815.
