Checking the water

Last week, it was PALL collecting water samples from the front-lawn wells and the near-gate well in order to check for dioxane contamination.

Today, it is the University of Michigan's Occupational Safety and Environmental Health (UM-OSEH) services coming to collect cabin water samples for nitrate and coliform contamination testing.

Sometimes, the human industrial history of the region intrudes upon life more strongly than on other days.
