\n\n A portion of the Southern Willamette Va lley has been designated as a Groundwater Management Area by the Department of Environmental Quality due to elevated nitrate levels in well water. Whi le it is\n especially important for households with pregnant women or newb orns to test for nitrate because of a rare type of blue-baby syndrome\, all homes with private wells should be aware of their nitrate\n level. \; \n
