How can I tell if my well water is safe to drink?
You’ll only know if your well water is safe to drink by having it tested at a Certified Lab. Wells are generally a safe and dependable source of drinking water – but the best way to be sure is by having the well water tested annually for bacteria. For more information, see our Well Water Test brochure.
