Mayville will offer library checkout of radon test kits, mayor says
Summary
Mayville officials said four radon test kits will be available for library patrons to check out for one week so residents can test home radon levels; staff said kits are available now for those with library cards and described next steps if results exceed recommended levels.
Mayville — The mayor told the committee that the city has acquired four radon test kits residents may check out from the Mayville library to test home radon levels.
During the meeting the mayor said the library has funds and will purchase the kits discussed in a previous mayor’s report; residents with a library card can check out a kit for a week and run the monitor. Committee members asked whether kits require mailing in or whether the monitors display results; staff said some monitors show daily readings and others may require web or lab reporting, and that if readings exceed recommended levels a household can consider venting measures or professional mitigation.
The kits were described as available immediately from the library circulation desk for residents with a library card. No committee vote was required for this informational item.
