Well Water Testing
The United States Environment Protection Agency is only responsible for regulating public water systems. Those who get their water from a well that is shared by 25 or fewer homes are responsible for testing their own water for contaminants. The EPA recommends annual testing for nitrate and coliform bacteria. More frequent testing should be performed if you are concerned about radon or pesticides. Nearby local water systems can give you a heads up about likely contaminants that you should test for.
If your water comes from a well, look into getting a whole house water treatment system. These powerful home water filter systems can be a valuable first line of defense against changing well water conditions.
