Summer Tracking Updates

New Private Drinking Water Quality Maps

The new Private Drinking Water tool is here! Use the map to see the percentage of private wells and springs in Vermont towns that have tested above health limits for common contaminants including arsenic, fluoride, gross alpha, nitrate, radon and uranium. The tool also has information about the source and health risks of each contaminant.

Regardless of what data shows in your area, the Health Department recommends regular testing for everyone on private water. Learn more about testing your water on our website.

Tracking Awareness Week

This year's Tracking Awareness Week was a success! The CDC Environmental Public Health Tracking network took to social media to share data stories from tracking programs across the country. In case you missed it, we shared:

Up-close pollen pictures from our new pollen sensor (pictured)
Our Tick Bite Illnesses dashboard, which is new this year
The program goals we developed as a result of our Equity Audit
The background of the Vermont Social Vulnerability Index which has served as the foundation for a new tool to be announced soon!

Be sure to follow Vermont Tracking on Facebook for updates and data stories throughout the year!
