Well Water Testing

Private water supplies, like wells, are not regulated and it is the responsibility of the owner to ensure quality. Many contaminants, like nitrates, that could pose health risks for infants and other at-risk groups are odorless and colorless.

Annual testing is the first step to ensure a safe drinking water supply.

Well owners can have their water tested for basic potability standards-coliform
bacteria and nitrates by a State Department of Health certified lab. See list.
