Contact information can be found at the bottom of the letter. Appointments can only be scheduled Monday through Wednesday 8AM to 2PM, Thursday 8AM to 11:30AM, Thursday afternoon and Fridays are unavailable due to restricted lab testing hours.
4. It is recommended that you bleach your well prior to testing. An example of the bleaching process is attached to this document. If you would like to have a local plumber or certified well driller do an inspection and take a sample, please call to discuss this scenario.

Please note that a private well permit cannot be issued until a safe water sample is collected and a payment is made. The total cost for the Village of Weston portion of a 5- year private well permit is $135. This fee covers one water sample collected and a cross connection inspection. Any additional sampling upon an unsafe water sample result will be $60, as well. If your well needs abandonment, please call me and we can discuss the process.

Once you have completed these steps, please contact Stacy Gilmeister, Private Well Coordinator, at (715) 359-2876, or by e-mail at sgilmeister@westonwi.gov.  This is where we will schedule a well water sample. If you have an questions regarding the process please contact me.
