Private Well Testing
Ensure Safe, Clean Water from Your Private Well
Private wells provide water for millions of households, but unlike public water systems, they are not regulated by federal authorities. Regular testing ensures your well water is safe for drinking, cooking, and other uses, protecting your family from potential health risks.

Why Private Well Testing is Essential?
While private wells are a reliable water source, they are vulnerable to contamination from environmental and human activities. Regular testing is critical to detect and address potential hazards like:
Contaminants such as E. coli, coliforms, and other harmful microorganisms can cause gastrointestinal and other health issues.
Often a result of agricultural runoff or septic system leaks, nitrates can pose serious risks, particularly to infants and pregnant women.
Metals such as arsenic, lead, and cadmium may seep into groundwater, leading to chronic health issues.
Residues from nearby farms or industrial activities can introduce harmful chemicals to your water.
Improper pH levels or high mineral content can corrode plumbing or affect water quality.
The EPA does not regulate private wells, meaning regular testing is the sole responsibility of the well owner.
