Is water from your private well safe to drink? If your drinking water test levels are above 10 PPM of nitrates, you may be eligible for a rebate on a reverse osmosis system to remove nitrates from you private well. Applications will now be accepted and reviewed for consideration on a month-to-month basis. Submitted applications will be given equal consideration as long as funding for the program remains available in the month in which the application is submitted. Private wells must be registered with the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. For well registration information visit: https://dnr.nebraska.gov/. You must also get your well tested by the state laboratory. To request a test kit go to: https://www.nebraska.gov/dhhs/water-test-kits/private.html. Funding amounts up to $4,000 per small treatment installations are available.   For more information about the rebate, please visit: http://dee.ne.gov/.
