American Rescue Plan Act
Providing Well Treatment Funds to Eligible Wisconsin Residents & Businesses
If you are among the many Wisconsinites struggling with private well contamination, you may be eligible for a grant.
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) now offers a Well Compensation Grant Program. This program provides funds to eligible landowners, renters, or Wisconsin business owners to replace or treat contaminated wells. The program aims to improve access to clean drinking water across the state.
Eligible Wisconsin residents and businesses can use the grant funds to treat contaminated wells that contain Nitrate, Arsenic, Fecal Bacteria, PFAS, arsenic, and more.
The program will pay for 100% of up to $16,000 in eligible costs. However, these funds are only provided for a limited time.
To qualify, the applicant must meet income eligibility. In addition, a certified laboratory must perform the water test.
What type of well contamination qualifies for the grant program?
According to the Wisconsin DNR, qualifying wells must contain one of the following substances. Furthermore, the amount of the contaminant must exceed the MCL determined by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Bacterial Contamination
Your laboratory reports show a presence of E. coli, and you have proof of unsuccessful attempts to address the contamination through chlorination or other means.
PFAS Contamination
Your laboratory report shows PFAS at a level that is equal or greater than the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) groundwater standards.
Arsenic Contamination
Your laboratory report shows arsenic equal to or more than 10 ug/l (parts per billion).
Nitrate Contamination
Your laboratory report shows nitrates equal to or more than 10 parts per million.
Other Contaminants
Other contaminants may be eligible if an advisory from DHS indicates that the well should not be used for drinking water due to the presence of the contaminant.

Gregory Conner2022-01-12U.S. Water does high quality work. They were on time and did not leave a mess when finished. I worked with Kevin who was very understanding to my needs and situation. Kevin worked with me and we got my water issues all cared for with a Softener and Backwashing Filter. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing water tested and treated.
Mike Poitras2021-01-09I got an RO system from US Water back in April. I can't believe the difference. I used to clean my coffee pot every one or two weeks because of the scale deposits. I haven't had to clean it since my RO system was installed. My drinking water is fantastic and it's always at hand. I have been so impressed I just purchased a system for my mother and one for my mother-in-law.
