← Not sure? Find my test I have a private well

Your well is your utility. Test it like one.

Public systems are tested constantly; a private well is tested only when the owner chooses to. There's no annual inspection and no one calling to remind you — so the responsible move is an annual accredited-lab test.

What to test for

Wells draw from local geology and can pick up contamination from septic systems, agriculture and nearby land use. The core things to check:

Bacteria (total coliform) & E. coli — the #1 well concern, tied to septic and surface intrusion
Nitrate — from fertilizer and septic; a specific risk for infants
Arsenic & heavy metals — often naturally occurring, invisible and tasteless
pH & hardness — water chemistry that affects plumbing and treatment
PFAS — if you're near industry, an airfield or a landfill
