OUR WELL WATER LOOKS, SMELLS, AND TASTES FINE.
WHY SHOULD WE HAVE OUR WATER TESTED?
Your well water may NOT be safe to drink.
- Germs (bacteria and viruses) can get into well water if the well casing is damaged or if you have a dug or shallow well.
- Chemicals like arsenic, radon and uranium get into Maine wells from nature. They’re in the rocks and can dissolve in water. Lead from older pipes can also dissolve in water.
THE RESULT: Both germs and chemicals may cause unpleasant symptoms, such as upset stomach or the runs (diarrhea). Some of the chemicals also increase the chance of cancer. Even if you’ve had water testing done before, it may be time to test again.
When and What Do We Test?
- Every year for bacteria, nitrates, and nitrites.
- Every 3 to 5 years for all chemicals & Minerals
