You should have your well tested once each year for total coliform, nitrates and pH levels.  If you suspect other contaminants, you should test for those as well.  You should also have your well tested if:
 

• There are known problems with well water in your area.
• You have experienced problems near your well (flooding, land disturbances, and nearby waste disposal sites).
• You replace or repair any part of your well system.
• You notice a change in water quality (taste, color, odor). 

Contact your loan officer, however, the buyer’s lending institution will most likely require that the well pass a water quality test prior to loan approval. Most lenders require testing for bacteria. Some may require nitrate testing.

Most samples are analyzed and reported to our customers within 3 to 5 business days, however some test results may take longer.
