Thanks to everyone involved with the testing process already - both PeopleService and the City of Braham appreciate your willingness to help with this program. We are looking for new volunteers to help with our lead and copper sampling program. Please call Katie Olson @ 320-496-8710 if you are interested. Requirements are:

• House built before 1983
• Must have a hard water unfiltered tap at the kitchen sink 
• Cannot have a softener or filter on the kitchen cold water tap.

The City of Braham relies on groundwater for its drinking water supply.  The City owns and operates two primary wells located within the City limits. These wells draw water from a groundwater aquifer located approximately 200 feet underground. Groundwater aquifers are vulnerable to contamination from human land surface activities. The City is working with its citizens and neighboring property owners to protect drinking water supply by developing and carrying out a Wellhead Protection Plan. The WHP was prepared in conjunction with several local, county, and state agencies. The Minnesota Department of Health is the lead agency for the State program and will assist communities with defining wellhead protection areas and developing plans to protect wells.
