It is a measure of the condition of water relative to the requirements of one or more biotic species, or to any human need or purpose. Water quality is important. Water is life!
Why Should I Test My Well Water? There are dozens of tests you can use on your well water system, but there are few key ones all wells should receive:

Why Should I Test My Well Water? There are dozens of tests you can use on your well water system, but there are few key ones all wells should receive:
- Basic Water Potability – This is a grouping of multiple tests that will measure the levels of nitrates, sodium ions, sulfates, fluorides, and total dissolved solids in the water.
- Coliform Bacteria – Finds any presence of microorganisms in the water that can cause harm to a person’s health.
- Specific Contaminant Testing – When specific contaminants are suspected to be in the water, additional testing will be done to look for levels of that contaminant.

Water Quality:
According to the CDC, (Center for Disease Control), the United States has one of the safest water supplies in the world. If you are among the 286 million Americans that get their water from a community water system, your tap water is regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Drinking water varies from place to place, depending on the condition of the source water from which it is drawn and the treatment it receives, but it must meet EPA regulations. Even though our tap water supplies are considered to be one of the safest in the world, water contamination can still occur. There are many sources of contamination, including: · Sewage releases · Naturally occurring chemicals and minerals (for example, arsenic, radon, uranium) · Local land use practices (for example, fertilizers, pesticides, livestock, concentrated feeding operations) · Manufacturing processes (for example, heavy metals, cyanide) · Malfunctioning on-site wastewater treatment systems (for example, septic systems) In addition, drinking water that is not properly treated or which travels through an improperly maintained distribution system (for example, the piping system) may also create an environment for contamination. The presence of certain contaminants in our water can lead to health issues, including gastrointestinal illness, reproductive problems, and neurological disorders. Infants, young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and immune-compromised persons may be especially susceptible to illness. Septic Systems: A well-designed septic system, consisting of a septic tank and a drainfield, is crucial for safe and sustainable wastewater management, ensuring proper treatment and preventing contamination of water sources. Key design considerations include soil conditions, water table levels, and system type, with options like conventional gravity, pressure distribution, and aerobic treatment units. Let us help you with you septic system design! |
