Residents who get their water from a community or municipal source can be confident that their water provider is required to test that water regularly and frequently. Residents who get their water from a private well bear sole responsibility for testing the water that comes into their homes. BACOG works to facilitate easy testing options so all residents can be confident in the safety and quality of their water.
EXPANDED PRIVATE WELL WATER TESTING OPTIONS
Residents rely on the water that comes into their home every day, and it is up to each private well owner to maintain its quality and safety. Additional testing that may identify contaminants in the natural well water is recommended every 5 years or with a transfer of real estate.
BACOG is partnering with My Tap Score and SimpleLab to facilitate expanding testing options for residential private well owners. If a resident would like additional information about well water testing, visit My Tap Score; and for discounted testing kits for natural and manmade contaminants such as arsenic, lead, iron, and PFAS, visit: SimpleLab (gosimplelab.com).
