Well-water testing available in Trenton
TRENTON
Trenton residents may have access to free well-water testing thanks to a grant from Defend Our Health.
The grassroots organization based in Portland works to “create a world where all people are thriving with equal access to safe food and drinking water, healthy homes and products that are toxic-free and climate-friendly,” according to its website.
