Well Water
If you get your water from a private or shared well, you should have your water tested annually. Well water is susceptible to many contaminants including bacteria, nitrates and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). The potentially dangerous contaminates can go unnoticed for years unless you test your water. Some states like Wisconsin have very specific regulations for private wells, but even if your state does not require testing, you should still test your well water on a regular basis.
