Water Shop Talk
When: September 10, 2026, 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Where: Auburn Memorial Library, 1810 Courthouse Ave, Auburn, NE
Whether you rely on city water or draw from a private well, understanding how to use water wisely and ensure your drinking water is safe are essential for protecting your family's well-being. Join Conversation Nebraska and the University of Nebraska for a community-focused lecture that breaks down the hidden risks like bacteria, nitrates, and other pollutants and shows how proper testing and treatment can keep every household safe. We will then turn to what homeowners and farmers are doing to protect water for the future. Safe, abundant water for the future doesn't happen by chance; it happens when informed neighbors take action together.
