Bacteria Concerns in Well Water

Bacterial safety cannot be determined by taste, smell, or clarity. Use an appropriate laboratory and follow sterile sample instructions. If a health-related result is detected, follow laboratory and public-health guidance promptly. Corrective steps may include inspecting the well, addressing contamination pathways, disinfection, and retesting. Ongoing treatment should never replace fixing a correctable well problem.
