When someone receives their new credential, or at their next renewal, they will peel the new durable card off the letter. There will be no need to cut around the card and have it laminated. If someone wishes a replacement credential card now, they can fill out a request form and send it to S&B with a $10 fee. Here is a link to the request form, PDF file. Need to Have your Well Water Tested? Flooding could lead to contamination. People who rely on private wells for drinking water should think about whether they need to have the water tested for contamination from flooding. Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources water supply specialist Marty Nessman says wells should be inspected to see if any flood water overtopped it or flowed past the location. If that appears to be the case, Nessman says the water should be tested. Nessman says flood waters can let harmful bacteria into wells, which require chlorine treatments to eliminate. He says wells in pits or below grade areas are particularly at risk. Water sampling kits are available through the state Laboratory of Hygiene or local health departments. However, Nessman says you can skip testing if you know your well was submerged by flood waters. If that's the case, he says you should go ahead and just have the water treated right away, then test the water afterwards. More info from the DNR on contamination of drinking water.
