Well Water Testing

There are many reasons to test your well water.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has this to say…

“If you have your own well, you are responsible for making sure that your water is safe to drink. Private wells should be tested annually for at least nitrate and bacteria to detect contamination problems early.”

In addition to an annual test, The National Ground Water Association recommends that well owners test their water:

  • Any time there is a change in the taste, odor, or appearance of the well water, or if a problem occurs such as a broken well cap or a new contamination source;
  • If family members or house guests have recurrent incidents of gastrointestinal illness;
  • If you wish to monitor the efficiency and performance of home water treatment equipment.

The Four major THMs are:
