NEWS FROM THE COMMUNITY 
WhamLAB: The Wet Trial

THE WET TRIAL

Researchers at Temple University are looking for families who drink water from a private well for a paid study. They are interested in keeping children safe from illnesses that can be spread by drinking water from private wells. Families will receive a free whole-home UV water treatment system (value of device + installation = $1,000).  Families can participate at home.  To be part of this NIH-funded study, families must have a child three years old or younger and live in select Pennsylvania or New Jersey counties.  For more information, visit their website www.wettrial.org, or call them at (215) 204-5124, or email them at wettrial@temple.edu
