flag Iowa launches free nitrate testing program for residents amid summer 2025 water concerns.

flag Iowa has launched the Nitrate Watch Program, offering free test kits to residents to monitor nitrate levels in local water sources, particularly in response to elevated levels that prompted water use restrictions in some areas during summer 2025. flag Organized by the Izaak Walton League of America, the initiative enables volunteers to test for nitrates, phosphates, dissolved oxygen, and chloride using simple strips, with results shared via the Clean Water Hub. flag The effort supports citizen science and aims to improve public awareness and data collection, especially for private well users not covered by standard EPA monitoring.
