Voluntary well water testing program funding provided, and money appropriated.

HF 1209 appropriates one-time funding from the general fund for a voluntary well water testing program in Minnesota. The bill directs the state health commissioner, working with the University of Minnesota and nonprofits, to develop a program offering free well water testing through local clinics. This program will provide private well owners with testing services, information on water safety, treatment options, and guidance for creating well owner safety plans. The funding is specifically for fiscal year 2026 and applies only to private wells, not public water systems.
