Q. What Should I test for?
-
If you have a private well or small water system, test
for nitrates, pesticides, and bacteria especially if you live in an agricultural
area.
-
Test for volatile organic compounds if you live near a
landfill or factory.
-
Test for lead if you have an older home or live in an
older neighborhood.
-
If your water tastes bad or looks dirty, test it!
-
If water has a strong chlorine odor, check for chloroform.
Remember that just because your water is "crystal clear" it might
not be safe.
Have your water tested professionally!
