If your home is on a private well, regular water testing is one of the best ways to help protect your drinking water. Water can look, smell, and taste perfectly normal, even when testing is recommended.
We've put together this quick reference guide with information on:
When to test your well water What to test for What your results may mean Where to find additional resourcesMany water quality concerns can be identified through routine testing, and treatment options are available for most issues. It's also important to remember that private wells are the responsibility of the property owner, including regular testing, maintenance, and any treatment that may be required.
We hope you find this resource helpful.
