Do you need a water test if you have a well?

If your home relies on a well for its water supply, regular water testing isn’t just a good idea—it’s essential. Unlike public water systems, which are monitored by the city or county, well water quality is your responsibility. Ensuring your water is safe to drink and free from contaminants protects both your health and your home’s plumbing systems.

Why Test Your Well Water?

1. Health and Safety – Contaminants like bacteria, nitrates, heavy metals, and chemicals can seep into your water supply. Regular testing ensures your water is free from harmful substances that could cause illness.

2. Changes in Water Quality – Even if your water tastes, smells, or looks fine, contamination isn’t always obvious. Natural changes in the environment, nearby construction, or agricultural activity can affect your well water quality over time.

3. Protect Your Plumbing and Appliances – Minerals or contaminants in the water can lead to corrosion or buildup in your pipes and appliances, reducing their lifespan and efficiency.

4. Real Estate Transactions – If you’re buying or selling a home with a well, many lenders and buyers will require a water quality test to ensure safety and compliance with local standards.

   
   

How Often Should You Test?

• At least once a year for bacteria, nitrates, and other common contaminants.

• After heavy storms, flooding, or nearby construction, which can impact your water supply.

• If you notice changes in taste, color, or odor.
