Free Tap Water Testing Workshop (Zoom Event)

Are you concerned about what is in the water that comes out of your home faucets? Would you like to take part in a project that seeks to make groundbreaking advances in water testing technology?
MRWC is helping the University of Massachusetts Lowell to find volunteers who live in Andover, Dracut, Lawrence and Lowell. Volunteers are needed to collect water samples from their home taps and submit them for testing.
The project’s ultimate goal is to develop a handheld device that people can use to test drinking water for a wide variety of contaminants, such as heavy metals and other pollutants. The sample provided by volunteers will help validate and improve this new technology.
If you are interested in taking part in this study, please join us for this virtual Zoom workshop on Monday, November 27, at 7 pm. The presentation will take about 30 minutes.
Please email John Macone at jmacone@merrimack.org so we can send you a Zoom link to the event, and arrange to get a test kit to you.
