Should I test my well?Yes. The U.S. EPA's rules that protect public drinking water systems do not apply to privately owned wells. Most states have rules for private wells, but these rules may not completely protect your private well. It is the well owner's responsibility to maintain their well and ensure it is safe to drink.

When should I test my well?Check your well every spring to make sure there are no mechanical problems. Test your well once each year for contaminants. Also, test your well if you have replaced or repaired any part of your system. The only way to find water contamination is through testing.
