Around this lab: Sauk County, WI

  • Private wells: about 22,980 people, 36% of Sauk County’s 63,642 residents (USGS, 2015); rank 29 of 72 counties in Wisconsin by people on wells.
  • EPA radon zone (indoor air): Zone 2: moderate potential (average indoor radon may be between 2 and 4 pCi/L). EPA says the zone map should not decide whether one home needs testing.
  • Arsenic above 10 µg/L (USGS model): about 563 private-well users (95% range 456 to 702; 2010 base), rank 46 of 72 in the state. A screening estimate, not a measurement of any well.
  • Older homes (Census ACS 2020–2024): 47% of 31,496 housing units were built before 1980, below the state share of 57%. Homes built before 1986 are more likely to have lead solder or fittings, so test tap water for lead there.
  • PFAS in public water nearby (public supply, not your well): 4 public systems serving this county reported EPA UCMR 5 results; 0 had a PFOA or PFOS sample at or above 4.0 ng/L.

County figures describe where the lab is, not the lab. Sources: USGS 2015 water use and 2017 arsenic estimates, EPA radon zones, Census ACS table B25034 (2020–2024), EPA UCMR 5 (2023–2026); details and links on the sources page.
