The Aaniiih Nakoda College Nic- Mní (Water) Center will be creating a list of Fort Belknap residents who would like to have their private well water sample tested. Residents’ names will be added to a list for the Nic- Mní Center techs to test well water. If the well is located near a location where the crew is testing, they will contact the residents to schedule. This offering is free of charge and must be within the boundaries of the Fort Belknap reservation.
For more information, please contact Victor Gone, Water Project Research Coordinator, at 406-353-3944. This is only for testing the water and giving a copy of the report to the landowner. Sample testing will begin as weather permits, early spring, and summer. The samples are tested to make sure the water is safe to drink; the sample tests the chemistry of the water; what's dissolved in the water to make sure that what's detected is below any health-based drinking water standard.
