Why Test Your Well Water?
Why Test Your Well Water?
Unlike public water systems, private wells are not regularly monitored by municipalities. That means the responsibility falls on the homeowner to ensure water is safe to drink. Contaminants may be invisible, tasteless, and odorless—yet still harmful.
Common well water issues include:
Coliform & E. coli bacteria – Indicators of contamination that can cause illness.
Nitrates & Nitrites – Often linked to agricultural runoff, dangerous especially for infants.
Lead & Metals – May leach from plumbing or soil.
Radon in Water – A hidden cancer risk if not detected.
