Private Residential Water Well Testing

If your family is drinking from your own private water well, do you know how safe the water is to drink?  The Iowa Department of Public Health oversees the Grants to Counties (GTC) Water Well Program which provides funds to local health departments to provide free water well testing.  Testing includes total coliform bacteria, E. Coli, and nitrates.

Tests are conducted by LCHD staff on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of each week to give the University of Iowa Hygienic Laboratory time to conduct the testing.  Results are forwarded to the home owner.
