Public input sought on economic impacts of proposed nitrate rule Comment period ends Saturday, April 10

Out of those headlines came the SWIGG Study, a water quality testing effort in Grant, Iowa and Lafayette counties. SWIGG round one results in November 2018 showed 42 percent of wells sampled were contaminated with either nitrate or coliform bacteria. This prompted Representative Robin Vos, Speaker of the Wisconsin State Assembly, to form a Speaker’s Task Force on water quality, which held hearings all over the state.
