Well Testing Program

Font Size: + -

The Health Department operates a State of Wisconsin Certified Water Lab for the bacterial analysis of both public and private well water supply.

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.

Collecting a well water sample is easy. For step-by-step instructions, read the Well Water Sampling Instructions.
