The Crawford County General Health District would like to provide the following information for property owners interested in having their private water systems tested prior to the oil & gas drilling.

A fact sheet was written by a collaboration of staff from the Ohio Department of Health, Ohio EPA and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.  This is general information to assist private water system owners with decisions on what to test for both before and after the drilling takes place.
