Stanislaus homes with tainted wells start getting free bottled water. How to qualify
Free bottled water has begun to arrive at homes with nitrate-tainted wells in parts of Stanislaus and Merced counties. The ambitious effort, funded by farmers and other parties, launched the week of May 10 with free testing of residential wells. Those that exceeded the nitrate threshold can start getting the 5-gallon jugs about 17 to 21 days later.
