Mower County property owners have more opportunities this year to qualify for financial help with sealing unused wells under a continuing effort to protect groundwater drinking supplies. Mower Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) and Austin Utilities have nearly $50,000 available for cost-share assistance for sealing unused or abandoned wells. All property owners in Mower County who have an unused well are encouraged to apply for cost-share assistance. Applications are considered on a “first-come, first-served” basis
