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 resources

 

Many 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.
