Private Well Testing Recommendations Mobile App

Most private wells provide a clean, safe supply of water; however, contaminants can pollute private wells, and unfortunately you cannot see, smell or taste most of them. Consequently, you should test your water on a regular basis. The decision on what to test your water for should be based on the types of land uses near your well. The Private Well Testing Recommendations mobile app gives information about several common contaminants found in private wells. It should help you decide when to sample your well and how often, how to find a certified laboratory and how to get more information.
