Well Water Action Plan publishes general information about private well water, about water testing, and about water treatment. It is for informational purposes only. It is not medical advice and it is not a substitute for diagnosis, screening, or treatment by a qualified healthcare professional. If you have questions about your own health, or about an exposure you think may have affected it, raise them with your doctor.
We are not a certified water testing laboratory and we are not a water treatment contractor; nothing here is a laboratory result or a treatment system design. Private wells are not covered by the federal rules that apply to public water systems, so testing is the well owner’s responsibility. Test results, and any decision to install or modify treatment equipment, should be confirmed with a certified laboratory and a qualified water treatment professional, and checked against your state or county health department’s guidance, which differs by location.
