Water Testing

Deciding what tests to perform on your water is an important step. The information below is provided as a guide to help you determine what testing is right for you.

Private Wells

Private wells are susceptible to contamination. At a minimum, we recommend testing your well water annually and prior to purchasing a home for total Coliform and E.Coli. This is an important step in ensuring the safety of anyone using/drinking well water.
