Tyler Frye fills a glass with water from a faucet that dispenses water processed with reverse osmosis Monday, February 5, 2024 in Casco, Wisconsin.

Newlyweds Tyler and Shannon Frye recently bought their brand new house and discovered their well is contaminated with high levels of nitrates. The contaminated water is a problem for the entire Kewaunee County village which has no municipal water supply. Mark Hoffman/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
