Water advisory for homeowners: Could your well water be making you sick?
Fox News
Well water homeowners need to have their well water tested annually for contaminants such as bacteria and chemicals, the CDC warns, in order to keep their family safe. Here's what to know.
Owners of private wells are responsible for getting their water tested to make sure it is safe to drink, the CDC said. Some buyers have been waiving these inspections in order to beat out other buyers to purchase their dream home, said realtors and home inspectors. Maintaining good well water should be looked at by homeowners as a task comparable to the servicing of a car. People should reach out to their public health department to see what elements are commonly found in their local area — and then test their water for them.
